Browne, an English physician to King Charles I, II and William III, plagiarized William Molins' Myskotomia, the Anatomical Administration of All the Muscles (London, 1648). He copied the anatomical plates from Giulio Casserio's Tabulae Anatomicae (Frankfort, 1632). In the face of James Young criticism for his obvious copying, Browne made "extensive changes to his text and issued future editions of the book under the title Myographia nova. "In spite of blatant plagiarism, his book was widely read and was translated into Latin and German, going through ten editions,Despite the plagarism a wonderful set of plates" Heirs of Hippocrates 642.
