Andreas Vesalius: De Humani Corporis Fabrica
For Halloween, Portage wrote about De Humani Corporis Fabrica:
“Published in 1543 the work was the first anatomy to be based on the actual dissection and examination of human cadavers…It is still considered to be the cornerstone of modern anatomy and many consider it to be the point at which medicine became a science.”
The post also points to a couple related site, including this one at the University of Michigan (source of the image to the left) that features scans of more than 20 pages from the book.
