The text of Galen’s most important contribution to anatomy was lost during the Middle Ages, and it was not until the beginning of the sixteenth century that the first nine books of the original Greek text were rediscovered. In 1538, the printer Andreas Cratander published these books as part of a Greek edition of the complete works of Galen, edited by Joachim Camerarius (1500–1574), Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566), and Hieronymus Gemusaeus (1505–1543).
