A major bilingual anatomical atlas by Georges Salamon, Professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Marseille and head of the Neuro‑radiology and Microangiography Laboratory. Produced with contributions from J.M. Corbaz, P. Dor, J. Faure, F. Finidori, G. Guidicelli, J. Gonzales, F. Grisoli, J.F. Landou, and Ch. Raybaud. Preface by Doyen G. Lazorthes (Toulouse). A foundational reference work in cerebrovascular anatomy, notable for its precision and clarity.

Illustrations
Richly illustrated throughout with detailed microangiographic plates and multiple plastic (acetate) overlay sheets that reveal successive vascular layers when lifted. These transparent anatomical overlays are a hallmark of high‑quality medical atlases of the period and significantly enhance the pedagogical and visual depth of the work.

Provenance Note
A handwritten annotation on the cover reads: “Book credited by C. Drak J. Neurosurg (1979) 51:39 673.” This suggests citation or acknowledgment in the Journal of Neurosurgery, adding scholarly context and potential research provenance.

Additional Material: Four Loose Brain‑Scan Films
Inserted loosely within the volume are four original radiographic films (angiographic / neuro‑radiological studies). These did not form part of the original publication and were almost certainly added by a previous owner—likely a clinician or researcher using the atlas alongside contemporary imaging.
