DUMC Library: Ophthalmodouleia Das ist Augendienst

Here's a very, very early example of dynamic, interactive graphics being used as a learning tool. Ur-Flash, one of animation's ancestors, moving atoms not electrons.

"The woodcuts included in the manual are based primarily on Bartisch's own drawings. The two series shown below appear in the book as single images with overlay flaps, allowing the reader to dissect the head or eye by pulling the flaps back.

It includes 88 full-page woodcuts and covers eye defects, surgical instruments and methods for curing diseases and injury, as well as recipes and illustrations of equipment for producing medicaments.

It is considered the first modern work on eye surgery and one of the finest woodcut illustrated books of the 16th century."
