Dintre Otrrherg: Gtrployec oJlhe Year T SLATION OF mSALIUS W O W  NOW AVABILDLE The Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library recently acquired On the Fabric ofthe Hurnan Body: A Translation ofDe Hu?natzi Corporis Fabrica Libri Septenr. Book I :  The Bones and Cartilages by Andreas Vesalius. Translated by William Frank Richardson in collaboration with John Burd Carman. San Fran- cisco: Norman Publishing, 1 998 for the McGovem Historical Collections and Research Center. The revolutionary texts De Hurnuni Grporis Fabrica Libri Septenz by Andreas Vesalius (1 5 14-1 564), comprised of seven volumes on the structure of the human body, were first published in 1543 at the height ofthe Italian Renaissance. This work ' inaugurated the modem study of anatomy. The famous descriptions and illustrations drawn from dissections performed by Vesalius corrected misconceptions prevailing since ancient time. The volumes are richly illustrated with fine woodcuts based on drawings by Vesalius and artists in the workshop of Titian. This monumental work is regarded as a scientific and graphic art classic ofthe mid-sixteenth century. For the first time a modem translation of this extraordinary medical classic is avail- able to the medical and scientific communities. The whole text ofBook I: Tlze Bones and Cartilages have been translated including Vesalius's marginal notes. A facsimile of the 154fedition was used to reproducethe original letters and seventy-three illustrations. This striking award-winning publication is housed 111 the McGovem His- torical Collections and Research Center. It complements other works ofvesalius I that are in the Library's superb historical collection. c'lfl$,$@;~ d8~l?jilli~jg q @~ c / c [ A  $&?fg -JJ,/J ,t@d!ldy!
