Andreas Vesalius: Anatomy and the World of Books
London, Reaktion Books, 2024 Hardcover, 224 pages, 22 x 14.5 cm, Illustrated. *Fine. ISBN 9781789148527.
A revisionist biography of Andreas Vesalius - the father of modern anatomy - as deeply shaped by Renaissance culture. In 1543 the young and ambitious physician Andreas Vesalius published one of the most famous books in the history of medicine, On the Fabric of the Human Body. While we often think of dissection as destroying the body, Vesalius believed that it helped him understand how to construct the human body. In this book, Sachiko Kusukawa shows how Vesalius's publication emerged from the interplay of Renaissance art, printing technology, and classical tradition. She challenges the conventional view of Vesalius as a proto-modern, anti-authoritarian father of anatomy through a more nuanced account of how Vesalius exploited cultural and technological developments to create a big and beautiful book that propelled him into imperial circles and secured his enduring fame.'Kusukawa's vivid reconstruction of the making of Vesalius's Fabrica takes us deep inside the world of anatomical demonstrations, hospital postmortems, criminal executions, university lecture halls, humanist libraries and artistic and printing workshops. She explains how Vesalius thought about books, images and bodies, and his skill at instructing Renaissance readers how to look, touch, dissect and model the human body in order to learn from it. There is no better introduction to Vesalius.' - Paula Findlen, Stanford University'In this brilliant digestion of her earlier work, Kusukawa not only reconstructs 'the making' of Andreas Vesalius's masterpiece, Fabrica (and the book's reception and afterlife), but the making of the man himself. The 'founder' of modern anatomy we see in full context, reliant on his peers, his readers and his students in the production of his masterpiece. He is also shown to be a canny negotiator with artists and printers in the making of the book's famous images. Ultimately Andreas Vesalius: Anatomy and the World of Books compels engagement with the construction of the 'truthfulness' of all scientific images, then and now. This is historical anatomy and provocation at its arresting best.' - Claudia Stein, University of Warwick

Andreas Vesalius was born as Andries van Wesel on December 31, 1514 in Brussels. His father was a pharmacist in the emperor's service and his grandfather also worked as a physician at the court. The surname of the Brabant doctor is 'Wesel' because his great-great-grandfather comes from that German city. Andreas Vesalius decides to study medicine, just like his ancestors. He is following courses at the universities of Leuven, Paris and Padua, Italy. During that period, medical science strongly adhered to the teachings of the Greek Claudius Galenus (131-216). Vesalius translates works of this Greek physician who lived long before him. After dissecting corpses, Vesalius concludes that Claudius Galen has probably never looked at the inside of a person. The Greek physician derived his knowledge from cutting open animals. It is known that Vesalius in Padua was given the bodies of executed criminals several times so that he could examine the inside of these bodies. Andreas Vesalius publishes a work in which he writes down the knowledge he has acquired through his anatomical activities. This book is entitled De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (Seven books on the construction of the human body). It is the first complete book on human anatomy.
