Routledge Principles of Anatomy - Vesalius and Guinter Translation

Discover a rare look into the history of medicine with this Routledge Early Modern Translation of Principles of Anatomy according to the Opinion of Galen. This volume presents the textbook of Johann Guinter as it was revised and annotated by his student, Andreas Vesalius, in 1538. While Vesalius is widely known as a legendary anatomist, his specific 1538 revisions have received little attention until now. This translation reveals the significant rewrites and additional information Vesalius added to the original text based on his own dissections. For the first time, readers can access 250 newly discovered annotations written by Vesalius himself. These notes provide a direct look at his working methods and ideas, offering a unique perspective on his development as a scientist. It is an essential resource for students of history and anatomy.
