Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a contribution to the history of dissection and anatomy in early modern Europe. The author explores how the practice of dissection moved from the periphery to the heart of early modern anatomy, replacing the study of texts in the Galenic tradition of learning about the body from ancient authorities. The book investigates the rise of anatomy as the primary way of understanding the workings of the living body, focusing on the work and innovations of pioneers such as Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey. It argues that dissection and anatomy did not simply serve to correct Galenic errors in anatomical knowledge, but also served as a catalyst for the conceptual transformation of the body itself. The author concludes that this shift from text to dissection and anatomy transformed European thought about the body, and that it played an important role in the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
