Anatomy is best taught visually and this book describes how anatomical modelling, mainly in wax or wood but later by injection, developed in the eighteenth century, particularly in Bologna and Naples. Models kept the messy and bloody aspects of dissection to one side, and were used for public and medical demonstration, artistic teaching, and eventually as destinations for the Grand Tour. The models also acquired a value of their own.

解剖学最好以视觉方式教授，这本书描述了解剖模型是如何在十八世纪发展起来的，主要是在蜡或木头上，但后来通过注射，特别是在博洛尼亚和那不勒斯。模特将解剖的混乱和血腥方面保留在一边，并用于公共和医学演示，艺术教学，并最终作为大巡回赛的目的地。这些模型也获得了自己的价值。
