About this listen

 Embark on a historical journey through the life of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), a Brussels-born pioneer whose revolutionary methods laid the groundwork for modern medicine. Vesalius, who rejected the traditional study of anatomy in favor of hands-on dissection and meticulous illustration, left an indelible mark on the medical field. This engaging 1910 biography brings his life and contributions into sharp focus. It includes numerous illustrations drawn from his original works. Please note, while the author may not fully recognize the significance of medieval Arabic medical educators, contemporary historians of medicine regard them highly. - Summary by David Wales.
