JF Ptak Science Books Post 1488
In a developing thread on oddly-represented alphabets on this blog, this one is a little harder to fill than it seems. The rules are that all images must be some level of dissection (with the exception of the anatomical Durer), and not a simple artistic study of emotion, and that the images be at least 200 years old. Part I of this alphabet of emotion and feelings includes awe, burdensome, contempt, disappointment, empathetic, fear, guilt, hope, intrigue, joy, lonesome, majesty, pride, resentment, surprise, trust, vulnerability and wonder.

Pride
In the category of "Holy Crap!" anatomical illustration surely Pietro Berrettini da Cortona (1596-1669) must be among its patron saints. His images are incredible, yelling and screaming for attention as they demand their space onthe printed page. Further, the man actually accomplished all o fthis in the early 17th century, his work no tbeing published for another 130 years or so. [Source: Tabulae anatomicae..., Rome 1741.]
