 == Anthropodermic Book Collection ==
+<!--Actually in possession of the Brown University Library, the model for the Orne Library at MU-->
 The Orne Library is well known for its collection of anthropodermic books (books bound in human skin). The library acquired the books in the 1920s as gifts from two alumni, at least one an avid book collector. The books were not originally bound in human skin, but were instead rebound for private collectors in the 19th century. The library has three such human-skin books:
-* ''[[Non-Occult Books|De Humanis Corporis Fabrica]]'' (Andreas Vesalius, 1543)
+* ''[[Non-Occult_Books#De_Humani_Corporis_Fabrica|De Humanis Corporis Fabrica]]'' (Andreas Vesalius, 1543)
-* ''[[Non-Occult Books|Danse Macabre]]'' (two copies), featuring wood-cut illustrations by Hans Holbein the Younger
