Professor Feneis designed the anatomic picture dictionary as a reference book that
provides illustrated short descriptions of anatomic terms in accordance with the
valid international nomenclature. The brief and clearly written text segments were
set opposite concise figures of equal educational value—a graphic task that Professor
Spitzer managed to solve brilliantly.
Since its initial publication in 1967, the Feneis work has been published in seven editions
and has been translated into numerous languages. The acceptance of the
pocket book format by our readers is proof of its successful didactic concept. Hence,
it is only logical that the eighth edition should remain dedicated to this effective
concept.
