Adopt This Book

De humani corporis fabrica, published in Latin in 1543 and 1555, is perhaps the most important book printed in the West in the history of anatomy, revolutionizing anatomy with its detail, insight and exquisite imagery. Edited and translated by Dan Garrison and Malcolm H. Hast, this new translation makes Vesalius truly available in English for the first time. The two volume set includes the complete illustrations from both the 1543 and the 1555 editions, and tracks the textual changes from the first to the second.
