The plates are copied from Andreas Vesalius's "De humani corporis fabrica" and an "Epitome" of the same work, and the same plates had already been used in the Latin edition of 1545. The English text, translated and edited by Nicholas Udall, is not a straightforward translation of the Latin 1545 edition. The Latin edition was an adaptation of Vesalius's works; the English edition, on the other hand, is a translation only of "De humani corporis fabrica", but the "Epitome" is replaced by a treatise "Of the partes of mannes bodye" (leaves A1-B7r), which is closely related to "A profitable treatise of the anatomie of mans body", published by Thomas Vicary in 1548. (Cf. article by S.V. Larkey, The Library, XIII (1932-33), p. 367-94.)
