		Vesalius upset the authority of Galen, and his book – the first real textbook of anatomy –; marked the beginning of biology as a science.
		Vesalius was taught anatomy in the Galenist tradition.
		Vesalius was therefore taught principles of anatomy that had not been questioned for 1,300 years.

		Vesalius studied medicine in Paris but was forced to leave before completing his degree when the Holy Roman Empire declared war on France.
		Vesalius' pamphlet was supported by his knowledge of the blood system and he showed clearly how anatomical dissection could be used to test speculation, and underlined the importance of understanding the structure of the body in medicine.

		The Belgian anatomist Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was the founder of modern anatomy.

	Historical Lecturers and Essays - Vesalius
		Vesalius (as I said) was a Netherlander, born at Brussels in 1513 or 1514.
		Vesalius soon found that his thirst for facts could not be slaked by the theories of the Middle Age; so in 1530 he went off to Montpellier, where Francis I. had just founded a medical school, and where the ancient laws of the city allowed the faculty each year the body of a criminal.
		Vesalius was well off in worldly things; somewhat fond, it is said, of good living and of luxury; inclined, it may be, to say, "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die," and to sink more and more into the mere worldling, unless some shock should awake him from his lethargy.

	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 and the Study of Anatomy
		In 1539 Vesalius was given access to the bodies of executed criminals by a local judge and he began to regularly perform dissections, many of them as public demonstrations.
		Vesalius challenged this method of teaching, insisting that a professor could only fully understand the workings of a body by carrying out the dissections himself.
		Vesalius himself is carrying out the dissection with the body opened for everybody to peer in.

		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’s cult and felt no need of a medical symbol, the origin and meaning of which he must have considered dubious.

	The 2004 Vesalius Course - History
		Fascinated by this daily sight of the structure of the decomposing bodies, Vesalius began his medical studies, like all his family ancestors in the University of Louvain (1530-1533) but then moved to the University of Paris (1533-1536) which was at that time, the most renowned in Europe to learn medical sciences.
		Vesalius quickly acquired a precise knowledge of human anatomy and was asked by his schoolfellows to gave them private lessons where he dissected the body himself, described its morphology and illustrated his explanations by numerous drawings on the flboard.
		Vesalius was criticized by Realdo Colombo (1510-1562), his own pupil who succeeded him in the anatomical chair of the University of Padova.

		Vesalius sought the corpses of executed criminals from judges and jailers, but was not above receiving bodies at the hands of grave robbers, hiding the stolen goods in his private chambers.
		Andreas Vesalius revolutionized the study of the human anatomy with the illustrations in De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body, 1534), but he also skillfully employed devices for organizing the contents of books that originated in antiquity and were codified during the Middle Ages.
