Ultimately the missing 39 engravings (in folio size) were discovered in the early 18th century. They were purchased by Pope Clement XI for 600 scudi and presented to Giovanni Maria Lancisi, his physician and a successor to Eustachi in the chair of anatomy at the Sapienza. Lancisi published the plates, together with the 8 smaller ones under the title "Tabulae anatomicae" in 1714."(DSB.IV.486/488). The Eustachius plates in this copy, newly engraved, are supplemented by separate outline plates of equal size.
