Principles of Anatomy according to the Opinion of Galen is a
translation of Johann Guinter's textbook as revised and annotated
by Guinter's student, Andreas Vesalius, in 1538. Despite Vesalius'
fame as an anatomist, his 1538 revision has attracted almost no
attention. However, this new translation shows the significant
rewrites and additional information added to the original based on
his own dissections. 250 newly discovered annotations by Vesalius
himself, published here in full for the first time, also show his
working methods and ideas. Together they offer remarkable insights
into Vesalius' intellectual biography and the development of his
most famous work: De humani corporis fabrica, 1543. An extensive
introduction by Vivian Nutton also provides new information on
Johann Guinter, and his substantial use of Vesalius' work for his
own revised version of the text in 1539. Their joint production, a
student textbook, is set against a background of the development of
Renaissance anatomy, and of attitudes to their ancient Greek
predecessor, Galen of Pergamum. This text will be of great interest
to historians of science and medicine, as well as to Renaissance
scholars.
