After the engraved title page to Joannes von Muralt's Vade mecum anatomicum, sive clavis medicinae pandens experimenta de humoribus, partibus, et spiritibus, Zürich 1677. This copy omits the title, "Clavis medicinae Iohannis muralti", that appears in the original written on a human skin which is suspended by two angels above the table. The von Muralt title page ultimately derives from that of Bernhard Swalve's Pancreas pancrene, published in Amsterdam in 1667 This copy was probably one of the enlargements from original works commissioned by Henry Wellcome for his Historical Medical Museum, for the exhibition organised in 1913 coinciding with the XVIIth International Congress of Medicine held in London
