François Tortebat may be the pseudonym of Roger de Piles. Consult: L. Choulant, History and bibliography of anatomic illustration, page 196.
The "Abregé d'anatomie", originally published in 1668 under Tortebat's name, consisted of text by Roger Piles. This 1668 edition includes title page dated 1667, privilège dated 12 January 1668, and one of the plates dated 1668. The 12 copperplate engravings by Tortebat were copied from Calcker's illustrations for Vesalius' Epitome and also from his De humani corporis fabrica.
This edition includes: general title page, descriptive text (pages 3-10),1 unnnumbered page, 1 blank page; added engraved title page (preceding plates) with title: Abregé d'anatomie accommodé aux de peinture et de sculpture, à Paris, chez P. Marie et A. Bernard ... Ouvrage tres-utile, et tres-necessaire á tous ceux qui font professiõ du dessein. Mis en lumière par François Tortebat. The present work omits the text and the two nude figures (Adam and Eve) of the original 1668 edition and thus consists of the 7 myological plates (numbered I-VII) and the three plates of skeletons (original numbers obliterated).
Armorial bookplate of Henri Vignaud on front paste-down, with motto: Se taire, et faire.
