[The anatomical plates of Antommarchi].
Mascagni, professor of anatomy in Florence, died in the same town in 1815, leaving manuscripts and drawings for an intended publication of a comprehensive complete anatomy with life-size figures. His prosector, Antommarchi, prepared the publication but was meanwhile called to Saint Helena. He left, taking with him three copies of Mascagni's plates. When he returned, he published these plates, printed from lithographs, under his own name in a monumental work which appeared from 1823 to 1826 under the title of: Planches anatomiques du corps humain exécutées d'après les dimensions naturelles.
