The Plates from the Second Book of the De Humani Corporis Fabrica by Andreas Vesalius, (1514-1564) Plates 38 - The fifteenth and sixteenth plates of the Muscles. The two figures of the present plate are preserved in that form in which the right leg, together with the foot is displayed in the more complete representation of the fourteenth plate. The sixteenth plate might have been placed immediately after the third plate of the muscles; but since it contains only a part of the body, it seemed better to place it here.
