This book provides the first annotated English translation from the
original Latin of Andreas Vesalius' China Root Epistle. Ostensibly
his appraisal of a fashionable herbal remedy, the China Root
Epistle concentrates on Vesalius' skeptical appraisal of
traditional Galenic anatomy, which was based on animal rather than
human dissections. Along with reflections about his life as a young
anatomist, Vesalius argued that the new science of anatomy should
devote itself less to rhetorical polemics and more to the craft of
direct observation based on human dissection. This volume provides
annotations to link the Epistle with Vesalius' earlier and more
famous work, On the Fabric of the Human Body, and includes
illustrations from the famous woodcuts first used in the 1543
edition of the Fabrica.
