A momentous history of medicine article appears in a recent issue of Medical History journal, which is housed in the Centre for Global Health Histories at York: ‘Vesalius Revised: His Annotations to the 1555 Fabrica’ by Professor Vivian Nutton.
Professor Nutton writes: “On the fabric of the human body (1543) by the Flemish physician Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was acknowledged immediately as marking a revolution in the understanding of the anatomy of the human body. It set new standards with the quality of its illustrations and accuracy of descriptions. A second, corrected edition followed in 1555, by which time Vesalius was employed by the King of Spain as one of his doctors. Little further was known of his activities.”
