The Body Revealed: Renaissance and Baroque Anatomical Illustration from William Hunter’s Library. William Hunter (1718-1783), physician and collector, was unique amongst his contemporaries in several ways, not least in having had the foresight to bequeath his entire museological collections and library to his alma mater, thereby avoiding their dispersal in the salerooms. When in 1807 the collections of coins, paintings, minerals, shells, anatomical and natural history specimens, printed books and manuscripts were received, the University was given an incalculable boost, from which it is still benefiting. Hunter?s library alone, comprising some 10,000 volumes, not only augmented the University?s stock by fifty percent at a stroke, but also brought distinction and character to an adequate, but unremarkable academic collection.
