Wow, I love how the physical copies of Fabrica are as interesting as their author and their historical context and importance to Western medicine.

Another interesting copy is the one bound in human skin at Brown.

Shouldn't that be at Miskatonic?

Apparently, for a time, it was in vogue for medical students to have a medical text rebound in the skin of their human cadaver from their autopsy class.

I'm not sure widespread that particular tradition might have been, but if anyone's interested in the practice in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropodermic_bibliopegy

In a sense it is -- HPL based Miskatonic on his local hometown university -- Brown is in Providence.
