29/04/2020: Verzamelde Vesaliana
over strips, kraters en manen, onkruid en rozen: een speeltuin met Andreas Vesalius als smoes. Graven mochten niet ontbreken maar dit keer worden ze dichter bij huis gezocht dan ooit tevoren.
Quote: "Na een carrière van dertig jaar in het buitenland, vervaagt het verschil tussen heimwee en fernweh. Wat overblijft is het verzorgen en snoeien van het gemis."

14/02/2018: In Search of Andreas Vesalius, The Quest for His Grave, Lost and Not Yet Found
Quote about the cover illustration, miniature no. 7 from a travelogue by the Venetian Carlo Maggi, published in 1578, and very similar to miniature no. 8 which already served as cover of the prequel, The Quest for the Lost Grave":
"It is not clear, though, in which drawing the ship sails and in which it docks. The author notes, however, that the skies have turned darker in 7. Neither is it clear whether the predominant colour, the seventh in any rainbow, will turn red or blue, as in a litmus test."

Two more quotes:
- "If this book is flirting with the unscholarly, again, if it is free-wheeling writing, as was already a comment on the first part, I confess that the enclosing chapters of this sequel hardly fit the main body and may force me to write a more fictional and third book".
- "Still and eagerly awaiting the technical results of the second phase, the search for the lost grave will never be the same anymore."
