First edition of a detailed work on the anatomy of the human head  by the Dutch physician David Cornelis de Courcelles, illustrated with fascinating anatomical plates, depicting the muscular structure and bones of the head. The text is in Latin and Dutch (from pp. 33-83). A second edition was published by A.& J. Honkoop at Leyden in 1786. De Courcelles was probably born at The Hague and studied at Leyden. He  is also famous for his publication ''Icones musculorum plantae pedis eorumque descriptio'' (Leyden, 1739), on the muscular structure on the footsole, which is a complementary study to the celebrated anatomy of the bones and muscles by De Courcelles teacher Albinus.
