"While Helguera writes in a manner that suggests parody, he is simultaneously deadly serious and entirely accurate... [he] astutely observes the politics of culture and its effects on society, what it means to us and how we are taught to appreciate it."--Amanda Coulson, "Art Review."

In 17th-century Leiden the theatrum anatomicum was a venue not to be missed. But what was the thinking behind this theatre, established in 1594, and its collection of rarities? Who were the scholars who worked there and what were their objectives? This study, that straddles the fields of science and cultural history, goes in search of the Leiden anatomists of the Dutch Golden Age, and their quest for evidence of the finger of God. Huisman investigates both anatomical practice and the individuals involved with the aim to give insight into the philosophical and metaphysical reflections to which the study of the human body gave rise. Tim Huisman is curator of art and history at the Museum Boerhaave, the Dutch national museum for the history of science and medicine.

In Elegant Anatomy Marieke Hendriksen offers an account of the material culture of the eighteenth-century Leiden anatomical collections, which have not been studied in detail before. The author introduces the novel analytical concept of aesthesis, as these historical medical collections may seem strange, and undeniably have a morbid aesthetic, yet are neither curiosities nor art. As this book deals with issues related to the keeping and displaying of historical human remains, it is highly relevant for material culture and museum studies, cultural history, the history of scientific collections and the history of medicine alike. Unlike existing literature on historical anatomical collections, this book takes the objects in the collections as its starting point, instead of the people that created them.
