A skeletal cadaver dissected to demonstrate the digestive tract, showing the esophagus intersecting the diaphragm and connected to the stomach and the intestines. Colour process print, 1926, after a manuscript illustration, 1345.

Guido de Vigevano was a fourteenth-century Lombard who served as physician to the Queen of France, Jeanne de Bourgogne. Full-scale facsimiles of the eighteen illustrations to his manuscript of Galenic medicine in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, no. 334 (ex 569), dedicated to King Philip VI of Valois, were published in 1926 by Wickersheimer, together with facsimiles of early editions of the Anatomy of Mundinus. The Vigevano illustrations depict the anatomy of the abdomen, thorax, and head, demonstrated on a skeletal cadaver, as well as examples of the medical treatment of living patients. This illustration displays the digestive tract in a dissected cadaver. For other illustrations from the same manuscript, see catalogue nos 26646, 26656, 26662, 26665 and 26684
