Content Description:
|
One diagrammatic human figure indicating points for bloodletting. A rudimentary figure, male, outlined in black, grey and brown, with details concentrated in torso, hands, feet and face with lips red. 24 circles surround the figure. In each, a red line forms an inner border and then connects the name of each vein to its proper anatomical site for bloodletting, as in the upper right circle, "Vena inter nares" and in the one below, "Vena in concavitate nasi." Adj. text: 14th century physician's belt book in Latin.
