Was forderte Vesalius?
Vesalius wurde nach den anatomischen Lehren Galens (129-199) ausgebildet, was zu dieser Zeit allgemein üblich war. Er prangerte die unreflektierte Tradierung Galens durch seine Kollegen an und forderte eine neue Anatomie, die sich ausschließlich auf eigene Befunde und Beobachtungen durch Sektionen stützen sollte.
Was kritisiert Vesalius?
Während Vesal Professor und Prosektor war, sezierte er 1539 die Leichen aller in Padua Hingerichteten. 1540 folgten anatomische Demonstrationen in Bologna. Im Vorwort zur Fabrica übte er vehemente Kritik an der anatomischen Lehre Galens, der selbst nie ein Hehl daraus gemacht hatte, nur Tierkadaver seziert zu haben.

Who was Andreas Vesalius and what did he do?
This year we commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) who is best known for changing how we do medical research with his groundbreaking book, De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem (Seven Chapters on the Structure of the Human Body), published in 1543 and generally known as De Fabrica.
When did Vesalius write the structure of the human body?
In 1540, at the age of 25, Vesalius began working on a fully illustrated anatomical textbook: De humini corporus fabrica – The Structure of the Human Body. It would be his greatest work. Vesalius took sabbatical leave from Padua in 1543, traveling to Basel in Switzerland to finalize the book for publication.
When did Vesalius perform his third dissection?
Nevertheless, Vesalius assisted with dissections at the University of Paris. In 1535 during the second human anatomy demonstration he observed, his teacher request that he and his peers assist in the dissection. The following year he conducted his third human anatomical dissection nearly single-handedly.
What is the difference between Galen and Vesalius?
For example, Vesalius noted the uterus as having a single cavity, but Galen had claimed it had many small compartments. Throughout the Fabrica, Vesalius frequently praised Galen, but also corrected Galen when Vesalius’s observations were inconsistent with those of Galen ’s.
