The Work of Andreas Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius (31 December 1514 – 15 October 1564) was a Renaissance physician in the 16th century who played a major role in advancing the study of anatomy through his most famous work, De humani corporis fabrica libri septem. His detailed anatomical models and descriptions pioneered a new method of studying and teaching anatomy that closely resembles modern practices.[1]
De humani corporis fabrica libri septem
A very well-preserved copy of the Vesalius' De humani corporis fabrica libri septem can be found in the World Digital Library.
