Jon van Kalker, Domenico Campagnola + doubtless other artists participated in the work under the suspicion of the master, but some of the plates are certainly the work of Vesalius himself. 2nd. folio ed. - The illustrations are superbly reproduced + show to better advantage on the heavier paper. No where are the illustrations better seen. Vesalius made many definite improvements in the text. He added further observations + corrected others, but perhaps the most valuable addition was the extension of the chapter on his physiological experiments. -After this book was prited, a physician no longer had to be primarily a philosopher, able to discuss health + disease in syllogistic form + with the help of classic quotations. -It supersedes Galen, whose works had been accepted as the ultimate authority since Greek antiquity. A book of revolutionary moment in anatomy + surgery in a format surpassed by no other scientific + matise. The major feature in the revision of the text is the 1st diagnosis + description of an eunism of the abdominal + thoracic aorta.

translation p. 59 (I:1x,x11) "This figure represents the anterior aspect of the skull, in which the bones of the upper jaw are shown as accurately as possible. We have placed the skull of a dog beneath that of man so that nayone may understand Galen's description of the bones of the upper jaw without the slighteset difficulty. In addition, it was necessary to rest the human skull [inserted] pages 47+48 in 1st ed. [end inserted] on its occiput + to set its anterior portion on the dog's so that the orbits to the sutures + bones appearing in them may be more clearly seen..." This arresting illustration was of extraordinary symbolic signifigence to Vesalius who employed it twice as a chapter heading. Apart from the obvious demonstration of the boundaries of the facial bones, the primary purpose of the illustration was to reveal that Galen had describet the premaxillary bone + suture of the dog as though present in man + thus could not have been familiar to human anatomy. His discovery from which he made the correct deduction was one of the major factors leading to the overthrow of Galenical anatomy. p.60 (I:V2,X11) bottom figure - The formen of Vesalius is now seen on the left of the illustratio, just lateral to teh ant. clenoid process + ant. to the foramen spinesum marked by the letter Q 1st ed (1543) dates, + praecipue 11 lines De Ossium Capitis et Maxillae -Capital X11 height Q vando quidid 12 lines Prima x11 Capitis Figura Skull Praesens 4 lines Secvn.

The practice of writing above the top line + the marking of chapter numbers indicate that this was produced early in the 13th C.

Most MSS of the N.T. written before the 13th C include a set of 10 tables that serve as a concordance for the naratives of the 4 Gospels The syotem which is based on a comparative tabulation of numbered sections of each Gospel was conceived by Eusebus (c260-340) The Dominican order participated actively in the revision of the Vulgate, undertaking campaigns to correct the text of the Bible in 1236, 48, + 56.

Gregory IX caused the 5 books fo the Decretales to be published by Raimond de Pennafort in 1234. These consist almost entirely of rescripts issued by the latter popes, especially Alexander III, Innocent III, Hohnims III + Gregory himself. They form the most essential part of the canon law the Decretum of Gration being comaratively obsolete. Bontiface VIII was the most famous of all the popes bearing this name. Dante described him as the "Prince of the new Pharises." The arrangement in 2 columns of text surrounded on all 4 sides by commentary, a practice developed in medicinal manuscritps, was firmly established in the Bolognese Pecretales of the 14th C.
