Persian Anatomy and Books with Volvelles

Very cool video of a Persian anatomical manuscript--one similar to the one in one of my first posts!

Anyone interested in this should check out the work of Emilie Savage-Smith

And what about this awesome book with volvelles?:

A much more colorful manuscript--that is also available in facsimile--is Petrus Apianus's Astronomicum Caesarium of 1540. If you're interested, see the writings of Suzanner Karr Schmidt, especially her most recent article in Cabinet.

There are other cool book videos from the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies at Penn.
