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

Très rare suite gravée par Bonavera d'après les illustrations du "De humani corporis fabrica" de Vésale (Basel, 1543). Beau titre gravé avec le portrait de Titien au-dessus du lion de Saint-Marc et 17 planches (3 du squelette et 14 des muscles), devant de magnifiques paysages, sans texte ni les chiffre d'identification des muscles. On lit sur la première planche : "Ticianus inventor et delineavt. Dominicus Bonauera sculpsit." Les planches du "De humani corporis fabrica" étaient attribuées à l'époque au Titien. Elles proviennent de son atelier et sont attribuées plus spécialement à Jan Stephen van Calcar. Certaines planches sont très certainement l'oeuvre de Vésale lui-même. Cette très belle suite, se trouve très rarement complète comme ici. Bon exemplaire, très grand de marges. Cushing VI. D.-9. Choulant Franck 196. NLM 12323. Manque au catalogue de la Bibliothèque Nationale./// In-folio de titre, 17 planches. Demi-veau brun, dos à nerfs orné. (Reliure récente dans le style de l'époque.) //// Very rare suite of engravings by Domenico Bonavera, of the illustrations of Vesalius' De humani corporis fabrica. Beautiful engraved title with a portrait of Titian above St. Mark's lion and 17 plates (3 skeletal plates and the 14 muscle plates) decorated with scenic landscapes and without text and lettering and identification of the muscles. Formerly attributed to Tiziano Vecelli, but now generally conceded to have been drawn by his atelier and more particulary by Jan Stephen van Calcar. "The cumulative evidence points with the near certainty to the fact that the illustrations of the "Fabrica" emanated from the atelier of Titian. Jan van Kalkar, Domenico Campagnola and other artists participated in the work under the supervision of the master, but some of the plates are certainly the work of Vesalius himself."
