Three rare books on fetal anatomy bound into one physical volume; two of them deals with human anatomy, the third one deals with cattle anatomy; written by the physician Nicolaas Hoboken (1632-1670s). Two books are bound together incorrectly: the physical volume starts with 16 unnumbered leaves and 160 pages of "Anatomia secundinae humanae repetita"; this fragment is followed by the pages no. 161-288 of "Anatomia secundinae vitulinae", its index and 3 unnumbered leaves from its introductory part; the fragment is followed by "Anatomia secundinae humanae" and the first part of "Anatomia secundinae vitulinae"; the volume ends with the remaining part of "Anatomia secundinae humanae repetita" (from the page no. 161).

I-VI, VIII and X-XV (two plates are missing or torn away; it means illustrations VII and IX are missing; only a small part of the illustration no.
