Il corpo-umano, o breve storia, dove con nuovo metodo si descrivono in compendio tutti gli organi suoi, e i loro principali ufizi, per istruire a bene intendere, secondo il nuovo sistema, la teorica e pratica medicinale
A 1700 Italian medical textbook by Alessandro Pascoli, printed in Perugia by Costantini, offering a compact description of the human body's organs and their functions for students of medicine. Its pictures are printed headpieces and ornaments, mostly cherubs or putti set among acanthus scrolls, swags and birds in a vine-and-urn arrangement, which a designer could draw on for classical border and ornament systems.
