The title page from the 1560 Roman edition contains all of the conventional images that we would expect to find in a 16th century anatomical publication. The three images at the bottom all relate to aspects of anatomical instruction – on the left a professor is providing instruction on the bones, the center shows a formal anatomical lesson complete with consultation of an authoritative text, and the rightmost image shows a smaller group dissecting a female corpse, probably referring to one of the private anatomies that were used to supplement large public displays. The pig and the monkey perched on the top of the cartouche allude to the fact that those animals were frequently used in anatomical instruction.
