Not going to share, but I have complete codex of human medical study books from late 19th century. Written in older German and nicely drawn.

All stored to one old chest, don't know even age of that one but it could tell own stories if it could.

And somewhere I have a copy of the first color wheel made by Finnish priest Aron Sigfrid in 1611. His findings about light spectrum and presentation it in circular manner predates 93 years before Isaac Newton, who is credited to invent the color wheel, but the Sigfrid work was only found at 20th century from Royal Library in Stockholm so no one knew about it anymore.
