Summary
An English "Treatyse on anatomie" with about 57 chapters, and a group of engravings by Andreas Vesalius with English translations, by Nicholas Udall, of his commentaries on points in those engravings: C. D. O'Malley, in the preface to a facsimile of Compendiosa published by Dawson's (London, 1959), argues that the treatise was possibly taken from the lost first edition of Thomas Vicary's Anatomie (1548).
