- Resum
- Following Andreas Vesalius' groundbreaking work of 1543, On the Fabric of the Human Body, anatomies were often printed in a large format and amply illustrated. To understand the body of man was complex. The body of woman, and its hidden capacity to generate new life, was an even greater challenge. This chapter considers the major questions that physicians and natural philosophers asked about sex and generation in early modern Europe. Microcosmographia looked much like the other grand anatomical works of the preceding century, with one important difference. It was the first comprehensive anatomy published in English. It described the anatomy of the human body in full, including the generative parts in men and women, with illustrations. Anatomical instruction had been specified in the surgeons charter of 1540, and the physicians began giving anatomical lectures in 1565.
