Traité theorique et pratique de la ligature des artères.

Manec was head of anatomy at the Facultè de Médecine de Paris and a surgeon at the Salpetrière. He wrote text of his atlas on ligations of arteries in the first person based upon his experience performing the operations. Manec's atlas is illustrated with 13 lithographed plates drawn by Nicolas-Henri Jacob, the illustrator of Jean-Baptiste Bourgery’s magnificent multi-volume atlas of human anatomy.
