As a primary source, this video utilizes many pictures of Vesalius
and his lifes work. This video was used in order to show the life
of Vesalius and his impact 500 years later. Cambridge University
Library created it with a majority of it discussed by Dr. Andrew
Cunningham.

This Image is a picture of a left hand x-ray. It was found from an
advertisement for a Crash course in Medical Imaging. This
photo represents the advancements in medical imaging today in
this world. I used this photo in correlation with my long-term
impacts to show the impact that Vesalius has on us today.

These primary source photos show the advancements in
anatomy today. Started in 1986, the NIH began a project to fully
construct a 3d model of the human body. Todays advancements
to the study of anatomy demonstrate the significance of
illustrations and the creation of the human form from Vesalius. I
will use these photos to help demonstrate the Economical,
Scientific, and cultural legacy of Vesalius.

This site is a collection of information and photos from the Health

collections of photos have helped to portray the advancements
of the field of anatomy today. I will use the photos showing
pieces of the human body to again illustrate the Economical,

This primary source is a compilation celebrating Vesaliuss various
works describing an overview of his life. It was created for
Museum Ms 500th anniversary exhibit in Leuven. The video and
exhibit celebrate his lifes accomplishments and the continuation
of his legacy even today. I used this video in order to
demonstrate Vesaliuss legacy and give website viewers an
overview of his life.
Vesalius, Andreas, J. B. de C. M. Saunders, and Charles Donald

vesalius of brussels: With annotations and translations, a
discussion of the plates and their background, authorship and
influence, and a biographical sketch of vesalius. Cleveland: The
World Pub. Co.
This source is a direct copy and translation of many on
Vesalius most famous prints. As the original works of Vesalius
were written in Latin, the educated language of the time, I will
be able to read the annotations using this book. I will be using it
to show the anatomical structures from Vesalius.

Vesalius, Andreas, and J. B. de C. M. Saunders. 1950. The illustrations
from the works of Andreas Vesalius of Brussels. Cleveland:
World.
This source is a compilation of Vesalius works that was not
created by him and his artists. By using a book that was
created in the 20th century, the authors were able to compile
more of his drawings and explanations. It is still a primary
source for me as I will be using the prints.
Vesalius, Andreas, and Joannes Oporinus. 1555. De humani corporis
fabrica. Basileae: Per Joannem Oporinum.
This book is a compilation of over 500 pages of the carvings of
Veslaius corpses and his notes on the anatomy and physiology
of the human Body. It is a primary source. I was able to view the
original print copy of this book and speak with a rare books
librarian who specialized in medical history. This Book was an
incredible insight into the mind of Vesalius and the compilation
of his drawings.
Vesalius, Andreas. 1969. The Epitome of Andreas Vesalius. Cambridge,
Mass: M.I.T. Press.
This book is an additional primary source compiling Vesalius
works. As a anatomical leader of his time, his corpses played a
major role in the development of the anatomy of humans in an
under the skin basis. I will be using the prints from this book to
illustrate his discoveries.

Secondary
Biesbrouck, Maurits, and Omer Steeno. 2014. Andreas vesalius'
corpses. Acta medico-historica adriatica : AMHA 12, (1): 9.
This secondary source is a critique and explanation of Andreas
Vesalius work with corpses. As one of the first to change his
method of teaching to a hands on approach utilizing corpses,
the book explores the impacts of the change and the focused
deconstruction into the anatomy of the human body. The source
will be used specifically in connection will the original De
Humani to illustrate some of Vesalius greatest works.

Benini, A., and S. K. Bonar. 1996. Andreas Vesalius 1514-1564. Spine
21, (11): 1388-1393.
This secondary source focuses on Vesalius skeletal images shown
throughout his Fabrica. It specifically refers to the spine section
and his anatomical vision of that region. From 1514-1564
Vesalius worked on his second edition and made revisions to
much of the Fabrica. This allowed for much greater detail and
increased annotations as to the physiology of the skeleton.
Ciranni, Rosalba. 2010. Andreas vesalius in pisa. Medicina nei secoli
22, (1-3): 143.
This secondary source explores Vesalius in his journey to Pisa.
After becoming primary physician to Charlie IV, Napoleon was
invited to Pisa to teach and share his lectures. He was able to
show his fabrica and describe his ways to the eager students.
This source will be used to demonstrate Vesalius impact on
different parts of Europe. It allows the reader to see an
immediate impact of his new style of teaching and research.

Nutton, and David J. Williams. 2014. Andreas vesalius--the work.
Vesalius : acta internationales historiae medicinae 20, (1): 19.
This secondary source specifically explores the work of
Vesalius. His work impacted the remainder of medicine and the
view and exploration of anatomy from then on. It explores the
changes between Vesalius ways and the old ways of Gallen. I
will use this to explore his carvings of corpses and the medical
advances that he found. His anatomical exploration
demonstrated within this book shows his dedication of his
career.

Cushing provides a bio-bibliography written in 1962. This
reflects Vesalius life and his achievements. Because it is written
during the 20th century, the medicine of the 1500s would be
extremely different. This biography provides insight on how the
anatomy has changed and how a modern medical mind would
view the past medicine.

1997. The flemish anatomist andreas vesalius (1514-1564) and
the kidney. American Journal of Nephrology 17, (3-4): 252-260.
This secondary source is a compilation of Vesalius life and his
achievements. It will provide a background on him and all of his
achievements specifically the kidney. Vesalius was extremely
interested on the strange organ which produced urine. He
believed that the kidney had a semi-permeable liner, which
allowed the urine to be produced. By using this source, I will be
able to connect his anatomical insight and compare and
contrast in with modern day teachings of the kidney.
De Caro, Raffaele, Theodoor Goddeeris, Pavlos Plessas, Maurits
Biebrouck, and Omer Steeno. 2014. Andreas vesalius--the life.
Vesalius : acta internationales historiae medicinae 20, (1): 15.
This source provides a direct description and evaluation of the
life of Andreas Vesalius. His work and life mix together within his
academic acquisitions to portray the life of a man who was born
into a family of academia and continued to explore and pursue
this for the rest of his life. I will use this source to demonstrate
how Vesalius life affected his work and vice-versa.

Duffin, Jacalyn, and Jessica Duffin Wolfe. 2014. The

annotated Vesalius. CMAJ: Canadian Medical
This secondary source provides an outside view of
Vesalius and his compilation of works. It specifically
refers to his annotations and descriptions of his
carvings the way his figures are structured. This
source, along with the fabrica, will provide detailed
accounts and interpretations of Vesalius notes and the
impact as seen in 2014.

McIntyre, Neil. 2007. Andreas Vesalius (1514-84). Journal of

medical biography 15, (2): 96.
This book specifically focuses on Vesalius medical
advances. It is a biography of the anatomy and
physiology advances that he utilized and discovered. I
will use it in conjunction with the biographies and
written works to look into his impacts.

O'Malley, Charles Donald. 1964. Andreas vesalius of

brussels, 1514-1564. Berkeley: University of California
Press.
This source will be used again as an overview and
background analysis of Vesalius. It is a biography of
Vesalius and his legacy. I will use it to demonstrate his
leadership in his time and the legacy after his death.
Additionally it will be used to make connections with
todays anatomy and leadership and legacy.
