	Vesalius - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The French anatomy of the 16th century was distinguished by two circumstances unfavourable to the advancement of the science—extravagant admiration of antiquity, with excessive confidence in the writings of Galen, and the general practice of dissecting the bodies of the lower animals.
		It is on this account that Vesalius, though trained originally in the French school, belongs, as an anatomist, to the Italian, and may be viewed as the first of an illustrious line of teachers by whom the anatomical reputation of that country was raised to the greatest eminence.
		He did not understand the inferior recesses; and his account of the nerves is confused by regarding the optic as the first pair, the third as the fifth and the fifth as the seventh.

		Andries went on to serve as apothecary to Maximillian, and later a Valet de Chambre to his successor Charles V. He encouraged his son to continue in the family tradition, and enrolled him in the Brethren of the Common Life in Brussels to learn Greek and Latin according to standards of the era.
		In 1543, Vesalius published the seven-volume De humani corporis fabrica (On the fabric of the human body), a groundbreaking work of human anatomy he dedicated to Charles V and which was illustrated by Titian's pupil Jan Stephen van Calcar.
		A few weeks later he published an abridged edition for students, Andrea Vesalii suorum de humani corporis fabrica librorum epitome, and dedicated it to Philip II of Spain, son of the Emperor.

	Vesalius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1528 Vesalius entered the University of Leuven (Pedagogium Castrensis) taking arts, but when his father was appointed as the Valet de Chambre in 1532, he decided to pursue a career in medicine at the University of Paris, where he moved in 1533.
		Vesalius, undeterred, went on to stir up more controversy, this time disproving not just Galen but also Mondino de Liuzzi and even Aristotle; all three had made assumptions about the functions and structure of the heart that were clearly wrong.
		Other famous examples of Vesalius disproving Galen in particular was his discovery that the lower jaw was only one bone, not two (which Galen had assumed from animal dissection) and his proof that blood did not pass through the septum.

		Sawday argues compellingly that this 'culture of enquiry', the urge to dissect, was a fundamental tenor of the period, underlying 'the great literary, scientific, artistic and architectural achievements of that age' which his book sets out to examine in an 'unfamiliar light.
		It is a fact that the science of human anatomy has a historical centre of gravity in the European Renaissance: specifically with the publication of De humanis corporis fabrica in 1543 by the Belgian physician Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564).
		Vesalius' book therefore did for anatomy what Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium did for astronomy (both books were published in the same year) and Sawday seizes on this 'remarkable coincidence in the history of discovery of both the macrocosm and the microcosm' (70).

		Da Vinci was convinced that the senses should be localized in the middle ventricle (third ventricle), because to its neighboring come together many of the cranial nerves.
		Only in the sixteenth century, Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), author of the monumental treatise of anatomy “De Humani Corporis Fabrica”, rejected the theory of ventricular localization of mental skills, arguing that other mammals (like the ass) had the same anatomical organization but not the equivalent intellectual capacities.
		However, he continued to give credence to the ventricles as a place for storage of animal spirits, from where they would depart, following the nerves, to reach the muscles or the sense organs.

		The theory of imbalance in the four humors (yellow bile, phlegm, blood and fl bile), held sway as the principle theory of the causation of human disease for some 2000 years, and is generally ascribed to the Graeco-Roman physician Galen (130-201 AD), who built upon the ideas of Hippocrates (460-370 BC).
		The emergence of pathology as a scientific discipline was finally made possible by the publication, in 1543, of the first complete textbook of human anatomy, De Humanis Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body), by Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564).

		It starts at a date that is doubly important: the publication of both Copernicus’s De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, which removed Earth – and thus humans – from the center of the universe, and Vesalius’s De Humanis Corporis Fabrica, where medicine was freed from the errors of Galen and biology was started on its modern course.
