	Vesalius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andreas Vesalius or Andreas Vesal, or Andras van Wesele (December 31, 1514, Brussels, Belgium – October 15, 1564, island of Zacynthus, Greece (then Republic of Venice) was a Flemish anatomist and author of the first complete textbook on human anatomy, De Humanis Corporis Fabrica (On the Workings of the Human Body).
		After acquiring at Leuven the ordinary classical attainments of the day, Vesalius began at the age of fourteen to study anatomy under the auspices of Jacques Dubois.
		The old story that Vesalius crossed the path of the Inquisition is now known to be almost without foundation (see CD O’Malley ‘Andreas Vesalius’ Pilgrimage’ Isis 45:2 (1954)) and is dismissed in modern biographers.

		Andreas Vesalius was born in Brussels in 1514 and at an early age was sent to the University of Louvain where he studied ancient languages.
		Among the alterations is the denial of the permeability of the septum of the heart, thus contributing very substantially to the ultimate discovery of the circulation of the blood.
		Vesalius drowned in 1564 in a shipwreck in the Ionian Sea, near the Isle of Zante, while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

		Vesalius was, like some other geniuses of his age, such as Copernicus and Thomas More, a daring innovator and a strong traditionalist at the same time.
		From 1553 on Vesalius had private practice as a physician in Brussels, and in 1556 his official ties with the court of Charles V came to an end.
		It is a moot question whether Vesalius used a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1564 as a pretext to leave Spain and the imperial court.

	Antiqua Medicina: Vesalius the Humanist
		But Vesalius renounced the Latin that was spoken and written by scholars of his time; he purified the common stock of words; he abandoned the simple colloquial prose style, the logical sequence of thought characteristic of the scientific literature of that period.
		Yet Vesalius believed that by recovering true and correct speech the road was paved for the recovery of true and correct knowledge.
		Although Vesalius believed modern anatomy was the resurrection of Classical anatomy, he considered himself a scientific “progressive” and was not particularly enamored of the magical, miraculous cures of Asclepius’ cult and felt no need of a medical symbol the origin and meaning of which he must have considered dubious.

	BBC - History - Andreas Vesalius (1514 - 1564)
		Vesalius came from a long line of physicians to the court of the Holy Roman Empire, and studied medicine in Paris.
		Vesalius' pamphlet supported the classical view, his arguments supported for the first time by his knowledge of the blood system, rather than quoting old authorities as others did.
		As Vesalius dissected more bodies he realised that Galen's textbooks and his own observations differed, and that humans do not share the same anatomy as apes.

		Andreas Vesalius (1514-64) was a Belgian anatomist and physician whose dissections of the human body and descriptions of his finding helped to correct misconceptions prevailing since ancient times.
		Vesalius was born in Brussels and attended the University of Louvain and later the University of Paris, where he studied from 1533 to 1536.
		During his research Vesalius showed that the anatomical teachings of Galen, revered in medical schools, was based upon the dissections of animals even though they were meant as a guide to the human body.

	Andreas Vesalius
		Andreas Vesalius (Andries Van Wesel), a Belgian/Flemish anatomist and physician, is widely considered the Father of Anatomy.
		Vesalius then wrote on Venesection (surgical blood-letting), where, in accordance with Hippocrates and Galen for once, he advocated profuse bleeding of an infected area, and opposed the contemporary doctors who preferred meager bleeding on the opposite side.
		Vesalius now had a great reputation as both a researcher and a physician, and was widely consulted by both royalty and commoners.

		Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), a native of Brussels, was descended from a family of prominent physicians in city of Wesel in the Duchy of Cleves.
		While Vesalius certainly performed many of the sketches himself, the unknown artists are now only known collectively as "the workshop of Titian." A number of important works have been published on Vesalius and De fabrica, and scholarship in the field is still active.

		Andreas Vesalius was born in Brussels in 1514.
		The result was that the idolatrous reverence of Galen's propositions on the human body was overthrown and Vesalius became the founder of the modern science of human anatomy.
		It depicts Vesalius standing beside a body on the dissecting table with the background consisting of a panoramic view of the dissection theater: it represents not only the science of anatomy but also the foundation of modern medical science: knowledge through observation; science based on fact rather than on tradition.

		He was descended from a German family of physicians called Witing (Wytinck), which came from Wesel on the Rhine, and was the son of Andreas Vesalius, court-apothecary to the Emperor Charles V.
		The story, that towards the end of his life Vesalius came into conflict with the Inquisition, is found in a letter, written at Paris under date of 1 Jan., 1565, by Hubertus Languetus to Kaspar Peucer.
		A rumour brought from Spain said that Vesalius had dissected a distinguished man whose heart still beat, and was therefore accused of murder by the family of the deceased.

		At fifteen Vesalius enrolled at the University of Louvain to study the liberal arts, traveling in 1533 to Paris to pursue the study of medicine and anatomy under Jacobus Sylvius and Johann Guinther, both exponents of the Galenic school.
		Vesalius completed his medical training at Padua, where in 1537, after due examination, he was appointed as teacher in surgery and anatomy, a position he held until 1544.
		Vesalius’ major work published at Basle by Joannes Oporinus, a noted humanist, is a landmark in scientific investigation, being one of the first works to display a thoroughgoing commitment to empirical observation combined with accurate descriptive illustrations.

	biographies
		Andreas Vesalius (1514-64) is considered a giant in the history of medicine for revolutionizing the teaching of anatomy as well as anatomical texts.
		Vesalius’ work was cleared by the theologians but the attacks continued and four years later one of his main detractors published a defense of Galen that claimed that the human body itself had changed since antiquity.
		Vesalius followed Philip II to Spain as the doctor of the Netherlandish subjects of the court and of foreign ambassadors with the stipulation that he be available as Philip’s surgeon if called upon.

	Andreas Vesalius
		Vesalius, however, was able to carry out a number of postmortem dissections and through these was able to demonstrate that the anatomical teachings of Galen, still highly revered in medical schools, was based on fundamental anatomical errors.
		Vesalius also disproved the Galen theory that men had a rib less than women and Aristotle's theory that the heart was the body's centre of mind and emotion believing instead that it was the brain and the nervous system.
		However, his fame led to him being appointed physician to Charles V. After Charles V resigned, his son Philip II appointed Vesalius to his own court of physicians where he stayed for several years until in 1564 on returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land his ship was wrecked of the island of Zakinthos.

		Vesalius enrolled in the medical school in Paris, but when war broke out between France and Charles V, he was obliged to return to Louvain.
		Vesalius’ direct observation meant he was able to correct several misunderstandings about human anatomy that had their origin in the writings of Greek philosophers, such as Galen, who based their descriptions on the dissection of animals.

	Vesalius' Anatomy Quote
		Vesalius' basic reform as the founder of modern anatomy was to do away with demonstrators and ostensors and put his own hand to dissection.
		Vesalius also insisted students should learn anatomy by doing their own dissections, a tradition which continues to this day (at least for now).
		Some hold that Vesalius had been sentenced to death by the Inquisition for his dissection of the human body, this death sentence having been commutated by Philip II to a trip to the Holy Land.

	Andreas Vesalius
		Vesalius was descended from a family of German physicians and was the son of the court-apothecary to the Emperor Charles V. He got his schooling at Louvain and Paris, and earned his M.D. at Padua.
		Vesalius had studied medicine in the tradition of the ancient Roman anatomist Galen (129-211), but in acquiring great skill in dissection — often practiced on the bodies of criminals stolen from the gallows — he discovered many errors in Galen's work.
		What irked the Church was perhaps not so much that Vesalius dissected human bodies, but that when he did so he did not find this highly venerated if highly speculative "resurrection bone." Though Vesalius deferred to the theologians on this point, he had nevertheless exposed the error of their theology.

	Introduction to the annotated translation
		Andreas Vesalius of Brussels (1514 - 1564) produced Europe's most detailed and best illustrated atlas of the human body at the age of 28 in 1543, with a revised edition in 1555.
		For Vesalius and those who came after him, the human body, directly observed, was the only reliable source.
		These corrections, always based on good evidence, are conservative of what the authors believe was the intention of Vesalius and the unknown artists and woodcutters responsible for the original wood blocks (destroyed during the Allied bombing of Munich in 1943).

	ANDREAS VESALIUS (15 14-1564)
		The son of a court apothecary, Vesalius was born in Brussels, and sent to Paris to study medicine.
		Vesalius offered another explanation: He was certain that Galen, in most cases, had dissected not human bodies but those of monkeys, goats, and pigs.
		Vesalius answered: I do not say so, but I show you here in these bodies the vein without pair, how it nourishes all the lower ribs, except the two upper ones, in which there is no pleurisy.

		Vesalius' deviating views, which were based on autopsies and published in this work for the first time, provoked fierce controversy, not only in the area of medicine but also in theology.
		Vesalius' Seven Books on the Anatomy of the Human Body is regarded as the first standard work on anatomy in modern medical science.
		The fact that the skeletons and the flayed cadavers are represented against a background of charming landscapes in the Italian style does not distract from the accuracy with which even the smallest anatomical details are represented.
