Gazing at the stars and the mysteries of the universe, Athanasius Kircher's "Illustrationes Primitiae" (1656) continues to captivate our imagination. This frontispiece, adorned with the symbols of the five planets and the Andromedid meteor shower, introduces us to the intricately detailed plates that follow. Plates 89 and 64, by Godefridi Bidloo, depict the human anatomy, revealing the complexities of the body. The vigesimaseptima, octuagesimasettima, octuagesimaprima, nonagesimanae, and duodecima tabulae further explore the intricacies of the human form. And as we look beyond our world, the septuagesima tabula offers a glimpse of the Earth as seen from the Moon, reminding us of the vastness of the cosmos.
