Little of his work was published during his lifetime, the earliest being dated 1562 (Venice). Prepared his accurate anatomical plates (which were the first anatomical plates on copper) in 1552 but these were overlooked in the Vatican and remained unpublished until 1714 when they were discovered and published by Lancisi (q.v.), the Papal Physician at the time.
