    The fabric of the human body : an annotated translation of the 1543 and 1555 editions

    Rare Books

    This title recreates the masterpiece of science and art for the first time in a way that is understandable to 21st century readers who do not have any knowledge of Latin. The texts of both the 1543 and the 1555 editions have been translated with the utmost care by Northwestern University Professors Emeritus Daniel H. Garrison and Malcolm H. Hast, a task they completed in over 20 years of painstaking and dedicated work. Annotations give the reader keen insight into just how innovative 'De humani corporis fabrica' was, and high-resolution digital scans of the almost 300 woodcuts provide the images with a sharpness they never had before.

Written during the 1880s from Ireland, England (including Richmond Prison), and abroad, they concern Irish politics, journalism, his opinion of various public figures, his involvement with the Commission on Technical Education, and Richard Pigott's forged Parnell letters.
