Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 485, a treatise on anatomy intended for medical students, abridged by Vesalius from his own larger work. This Yiddish translation is probably based on a pirated German translation published in Nuremberg in 1551 under the title Anatomia deudsch. Organized in the same 6 chapters as the original Latin epitome of Vesalius and the Anatomia deudsch, concerning bones and cartilage, ligaments and muscles, the digestive system, the heart, the brain, and the reproductive system. Written in Germany, perhaps in the Hesse region between 1590 and 1595 Record on Franklin, with link to a digital copy: https://franklin.library.upenn.edu/catalog/FRANKLIN_9958091023503681 Record on Internet Archive, with a link to PDF: https://archive.org/details/ljs485
