Bones of Contention. Humanism, Translation, and Experience in Sixteenth-Century Translations of Galen’s De ossibus
This article examines the editions of Galen’s De ossibus ad tirones (On Bones for Beginners) in Latin, Greek, and French printed in the sixteenth century – a period that saw more than two-dozen printings of the book. After a brief survey of the contents of the book, a description of the various editions and translations produced is given. The illustrations included in the editions up through the middle of the century are then described, and final…

The Body of Evidence: Corpses and Proofs in Early Modern European Medicine
When, why and how was it first believed that the corpse could reveal 'signs' useful for understanding the causes of death and eventually identifying those responsible for it? The Body of Evidence. Corpses and Proofs in Early Modern European Medicine, edited by Francesco Paolo de Ceglia, shows how in the late Middle Ages the dead body, which had previously rarely been questioned, became a specific object of investigation by doctors, philosophers, …
Bradford A. Bouley. Pious Postmortems: Anatomy, Sanctity, and the Catholic Church in Early Modern Europe
Reacting to Protestant attacks on the institution in the sixteenth-century, the Catholic Church halted the canonization of saints for sixty-five years beginning in 1523. Shortly after the practice was resumed near the end of the sixteenth century, it began to incorporate the testimony of learned medical men about the properties of the candidate’s body. In Pious Postmortems, Bradford Bouley adopts recent scholarship in the history of science and m…
The Great Pox and the Surgeon’s Role in the Sixteenth Century
The sixteenth century saw a shift in perceptions of the scope of surgery. The medieval focus on elevating the status of surgery had been accompanied by a certain distancing of surgery from manual operations, but the medical humanism of the sixteenth century embraced manual skills as an important part of medicine, most noticeably in the case of anatomy. In the first part of this paper I use accounts of the treatment of ulcers as a way of exploring…
Animals, Pictures, and Skeletons: Andreas Vesalius's Reinvention of the Public Anatomy Lesson
In this paper, I examine the procedures used by Andreas Vesalius for conducting public dissections in the early sixteenth century. I point out that in order to overcome the limitations of public anatomical demonstration noted by his predecessors, Vesalius employed several innovative strategies, including the use of animals as dissection subjects, the preparation and display of articulated skeletons, and the use of printed and hand-drawn illustrat…
