Abstract

Additional background information This book provides bibliographic information, ownership records, a detailed worldwide census and a description of the handwritten annotations for all the surviving copies of the 1543 and 1555 editions of Vesalius’ De humani corporis fabrica . It also offers a groundbreaking historical analysis of how the Fabrica traveled across the globe, and how readers studied, annotated and critiqued its contents from 1543 to 2017. The Fabrica of Andreas Vesalius sheds a fresh light on the book’s vibrant reception history and documents how physicians, artists, theologians and collectors filled its pages with copious annotations. It also offers a novel interpretation of how an early anatomical textbook became one of the most coveted rare books for collectors in the 21st century.

Abstract

Explores the origins and impact of the most famous book in the history of medical science and a key product of the Italian Renaissance: Andreas Vesalius’s De humanis corporis fabrica (1543). Andreas Vesalius’s fame derives from his writing of what is perhaps the most famous book in the history of medical science, De humanis corporis fabrica (1543), a treatise that within a few years transformed the imperfect art of anatomy into a modern science. This extraordinary work, however, came into being not just because of its author’s genius and industry, but for other reasons that remain (despite a vast body of scholarship) inadequately explored. These questions, the historical moment from which they stem, and the setting in which Vesalius produced the Fabrica, form the core of this volume. Some of these significant factors include the short time during which De fabrica was produced, the debated authorship of its illustrations, and its immediate and subsequent impact on the teaching of anatomy. The book’s significance within the context of present-day views of its historical value, and the ever increasing fascination it evokes among scholars and collectors alike, are also examined.

Abstract

In 2014 is het precies 500 jaar geleden dat Andreas Vesalius geboren werd. Zijn meesterwerk De humani corporis fabrica met zijn prachtige illustraties van theatrale skeletten en spiermannen in imaginaire landschappen zette Vesalius definitief op de wetenschappelijke én culturele kaart. Vesalius' levensverhaal en de context van het humanisme kaderen de ingrijpende veranderingen in de medische geschiedenis. Anatomie krijgt na Vesalius een prominente plaats binnen de opleiding geneeskunde, maar ook in de publieke ruimte. Het ontstaan van anatomische theaters overal in Europa is daar een mooi voorbeeld van. Ook kunstenaars raken niet uitgekeken op het spektakel van openbare dissecties en anatomische musea. De invloed van Vesalius reikt tot vandaag in de medische beeldvorming. Tussen 1 oktober 2014 en 18 januari 2015 staat Leuven in het teken van deze wereldberoemde en revolutionaire anatoom. Hoogtepunt is ongetwijfeld de Vesaliustentoonstelling in M - Museum Leuven. Curator Geert Vanpaemel toont de onuitwisbare impact van Vesalius op de medisch-anatomische traditie én de artistieke verbeelding van het menselijk lichaam. De meest spraakmakende thema's van de tentoonstelling krijgen een plaats in dit boek.

Abstract

This title recreates the masterpiece of science and art for the first time in a way that is understandable to 21st century readers who do not have any knowledge of Latin. The texts of both the 1543 and the 1555 editions have been translated with the utmost care by Northwestern University Professors Emeritus Daniel H. Garrison and Malcolm H. Hast, a task they completed in over 20 years of painstaking and dedicated work. Annotations give the reader keen insight into just how innovative 'De humani corporis fabrica' was, and high-resolution digital scans of the almost 300 woodcuts provide the images with a sharpness they never had before. --Karger
