Shotwell, R. Allen, "Animals, Pictures, and Skeletons: Andreas Vesalius's Reinvention of the Public Anatomy Lesson", Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, 71/1 (2026), 1-18.

Resum: 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 illustrations. I suggest that the examination of these three strategies for resolving the challenges of public anatomical demonstration helps us to reinterpret Vesalius's contributions to sixteenth-century anatomy.
