Andreae Vesalii,... de Humani corporis fabrica libri septem...
Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica, published in Basel in 1543 by Johann Oporinus, is an anatomy textbook by the Flemish physician André Vesalius for medical students and scholars. Its woodcuts dissect the skull, cranial base and brain with fine parallel hatching, shading the bone and tissue in the manner of Renaissance engraving, and lettered keys point to each part, a model for technical diagrams that explain structure through close, labelled views.
