RatzanSan Francisco, CA :University of California Medical Humanities Press,2020.©2020.1 online resource (304 pages): color illustrations, portraits ;Printed in red and black.Includes bibliographical references."Imagining Vesalius is a collection of ekphrastic works - poetry, prose, watercolors and sculpture - celebrating De Humani Corporis Fabrica, the 1543 landmark anatomical atlas by Andreas Vesalius. Using the stunning woodcuts in this famous book as inspiration, writers and artists have contributed prose poems and art works on subjects ranging from a parent's autopsy to immortality through dissection, murder, organ donation to amputation to the role of women in dissection to the anatomy of gaze. Introductory essays discuss Vesalius's place in the history of medicine, Vesalius as seen by a modern day poet, and a contemplative reflection on Vesalius's contributions to the development of dissection. A section of translation presents seven poems to or about Vesalius by famous contemporaries or near contemporaries, including Philip Melanchthon and Jakob Balde. Four appear for the first time in English. A rich anthology of Vesaliana, Imagining Vesalius will prove of interest to readers and scholars alike, with its offerings in ekphrasis, literature and medicine, the history of medicine and late medieval studies in art, anatomy and medicine."--Publisher's description.Medicinefast(OCoLC)fst01014893Human anatomyfast(OCoLC)fst00962785Anatomy, Artisticfast(OCoLC)fst00808452Ekphrasisfast(OCoLC)fst00904124Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)fast(OCoLC)fst00972484Medical illustrationfast(OCoLC)fst01014168Medicine and the humanitiesfast(OCoLC)fst01015158history of medicineaatekphrasisaatAnatomie humaineMedecineHistoireEkphrasisAnatomie artistiqueIllustration medicaleMedecine et sciences humainesHuman anatomyMedicineHistoryEkphrasisAnatomy, ArtisticMedical illustrationMedicine and the humanitiesHistory.Electronic books.
