'This is one of the most stimulating books on Renaissance medicine I have read...It offers a series of challenging theses.' Medical History 'Cunningham...brings the scholarly debates alive, and manages to set medical changes firmly within their social and cultural context.' International Journal of the Classical Tradition 'In this original and provocative book, Andrew Cunningham sets out to rewrite the history of Renaissance anatomy. Not content with mere revision, he intends to turn the conventional viewpoint on its head....This is an absorbing and compelling book, based on an intimate acquaintance with the primary texts and an impressive command of the philosophical literature. Its thesis is original and in many ways convincing, leading to fresh readings of familiar anatomical texts...Future historians of anatomy will not be able to ignore this book.' Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. XXIX, No. 1 'Cunningham's narrative of change, his reconfiguration of the subject, and the example of his close reading will be extremely important for the historiography of science and medicine.' British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 31 'The virtues of The Anatomical Renaissance are legion. The scholarship...is meticulous, the range of learning impressive, the array of illustrations instructive.' Isis, Vol. 89, No.3 '...an important study that questions the accepted notion that modern 'scientific' anatomy started with Vesalius.' The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies, Vol. 50 '[An] important contribution to anatomical history...a masterly analysis....' Social History of Medicine, Vol. 12, No. 3More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
