*Cover illustration: “Anterior Aspect
of the Bones of the Human Body Articulated Together” from volume 1 of
De Humani Corporis Fabrica (7 volumes, 1543) by Andreas Vesalius
(Andries van Wesel, 1514–1564). Born in Brussels, the son of a prominent
apothecary, Vesalius studied medicine at the University of Paris and the
University of Padua, where he obtained the MD degree in 1537. While practicing
in Padua he published his monumental work on anatomy, based on the dissection
of human cadavers. The Fabrica was the most extensive and accurate
treatise on the structure of the human body up to that time and is regarded
as the cornerstone of modern anatomical science. Vesalius considered the
skeleton as the foundation for the study of anatomy and is known to have
prepared several articulated specimens for use in his lectures. In 1543
he was appointed physician to the household of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor
in Madrid. He is reported to have died during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem
in 1564. The artist who executed this superb woodcut is unknown but was
almost certainly a student of Titian, whose studio was in nearby Venice,
and could have been Titian himself. The work may have been based on Vesalius’
own drawings—he was himself an accomplished draftsman—or on one of his
mounted specimens.
