This English translation and its fresh reconstructions of Vesalius’ sublime illustrations make Vesalius truly accessible in English for the first time.
Andreas Vesalius, The Fabric of the Human Body, An Annotated Translation of the 1543 and 1555 Editions of “De Humani Corporis Fabrica” by Daniel H. Garrison and Malcolm H. Hast With contributions by Vivian Nutton and Nancy Siraisi
Published by KARGER Medical & Scientific Publishers www.vesalius-fabrica.com
For the first time ever, both editions (1543 and 1555) of Andreas Vesalius’ masterpiece “De Humani Corporis Fabrica” are accessible in the English language. They were critically compared and published in a modern layout transforming the Renaissance anatomical atlas for the 21st-century reader.
With his woodcut illustrations, Vesalius set new standards in creating a dialogue between the written and the visual. To enable the reader to really study Vesalius’ woodcut illustrations, the images were digitally enhanced and often enlarged.
