Not until the
Renaissance rekindled the spirit of scientific inquiry did new
observations by Leonardo da Vinci, Andreas Vesalius, and others pave the
way for William Harvey's model of circulation, which appeared in
1628. The text also summarizes the "dynasty of
the disc," from the work of Andreas Vesalius in 1543 to the present
age of fiber optic surgery and molecular therapeutics. I aim here to explore the implications of
these events and this conjunction--it is, I will argue, no
coincidence--for the period between the first recorded Italian autopsy
in the 1280s and the work of Andreas Vesalius and his contemporaries in
the mid-sixteenth century. |
