FIRST GERMAN EDITION of this important work on anatomy partnered with the work of Philippi Verheyen Anmerckungen In Die Anatomiam Blancardi. Brieff An den weitberühmten Hrn. Friedrich Ruyschium.<br> 'Verheyen was a prolific writer including several books and manuscripts. His main work published originally in Latin the “Corporis Humani Anatomiae†was translated into multiple languages as here. This book became one of the most used anatomy books of the time.<br> The following excerpt of his book "Corporis Humani Anatomiae Liber Primus" reads : " . QuintusAuricularis quia cum minimum sit auribus expurgandis est aptissimus" translates as".the fifth finger called Auricularis because how small it is is most suitable to clean the ears". Incredibly anatomists at that time called the fifth digit "digitus auricularis".<br> Verheyen is credited with the creation of the eponym the “Achilles tendon†which denominates the common tendon for the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle although at the time he called it the “Chorda Achillisâ€. He also described the kidneys in detail especially the arterial “stars†found on the surface of the kidney which are today known as the “Stars of Verheyen†'. E. A. Miranda 2014 M.T.D.
