Vesalius 

This project presents Andreas Vesalius' Renaissance anatomical atlas On the Fabric of the Human Body (1543, 1555) in an exciting new way and explains the work in progress at Northwestern University to translate and annotate this historic work. Never before completely translated into English, Vesalius's detailed account of human anatomy transformed its subject and forever changed medical education in the West. Its woodcut illustrations became the basis of medical art and illustration for generations to come, and continue to influence the way we look at the human body.
