Durch seine Arbeiten zu Abnormitäten der Organe legte er zudem den Grundstein zur pathologischen Anatomie. <> sites.google.com/site/0700book sites.google.com/site/rarebbooks sites.google.com/site/0700buch/einbaende https://web.archive.org/web/20100122170956/http://www.polygraphicum.de/einbaende.html Augst He1m Art 0700 polygrafbloGspOtpolygraph polygraficum/polygraphicum bloGspOt 3742 https://0700polygraf.blogspot.com/2021/05/httpweb.html dweed

cf. BASEL EDITIONS 1534 ff. https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-4526735 VESALIUS, Andreas (1514-64). De humani corporis fabrica libri septem. Basel: Johannes Oporinus, August 1555. Large 2o (422 x 280 mm). Woodcut pictorial title, author's portrait, and printer's device; 9 large woodcut initials, 183 mid-sized woodcut initials, 22 small woodcut initials; more than 200 woodcut illustrations, including 3 full-page skeletons, 14 full-page muscle-men, 5 large diagrams of veins and nerves, 10 mid-sized views of the abdomen, 2 mid-sized views of the thorax, 13 mid-sized views of the skull and brain, and numerous smaller views of bones, organs and anatomical parts. (Engraved title silked on verso, with some short tears or tiny chips to margins, some minor loss to image at the gutter margin, a6 [portrait] with tear to blank margin, repaired, a1-u6 with wormhole [a short track in beginning] affecting a few letters per page, x1 with small hole affecting two lines and image on verso, O6 with small hole to blank margin, some occasional light browning.) Late 18th- or early 19th-century vellum (rebacked, large portion of old spine preserved). SECOND FOLIO EDITION OF THE MOST CELEBRATED WORK ON MEDICINE AND "ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCIENTIFIC BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED" (Horblit). Vesalius first published De humani corporis fabrica in 1543 when he was 29. It "revolutionized not only the science of anatomy but also how it was taught" (Grolier Medicine). Vesalius stressed the importance of dissection and observation for a proper understanding of anatomy, the use of memorable terminology, and a systematic approach to the subject matter. The work is divided into seven "books", and in what was then a revolutionary idea he started with the skeleton, then discussed the muscles, followed by the vascular system, the nervous system, the abdominal organs, the organs of the thorax, and finally, the brain. "Vesalius's was the most splendid and the most comprehensive of a large number of anatomical treatises of the sixteenth century" (PMM). The full-page plates of the so-called "muscle men" are celebrated for their clarity, accuracy, and as seminal works in pedagogy. On the basis of a statement by Vasari, the anatomical illustrations have been attributed to Jan Stephan von Kalkar, a Flemish compatriot of Vesalius and a pupil of Titian, but on stylistic grounds modern opinion holds that they are the work of an unidenfied artist or artists of the school of Titian. The present edition is the last to incorporate revisions by the author and is considered superior to the 1543 edition. Johann Oporinus, printer of the first as well as the present edition, used a larger type, had the ornamental initials recut to match the new type, and printed the work on a larger, heavier paper. The fine anatomical illustrations and the portrait of Vesalius were reprinted from the original 1543 blocks, which survived until the second World War at Munich. The pictorial title of Vesalius at a dissection was altered for this edition to show a male rather than a female corpse and the "muscle man" clinging to the pillar at the left is now clothed.
