Abstract
|
|
|
Vesalius introduced an innovative ¡®cut & paste¡¯ technique in the final section of book III of De Humani Corporis Fabrica, to dynamically present the complex anatomy of various blood vessels and the genitalia of both sexes in a three-dimensional perspective. This method was designed to overcome the limitations of two-dimensional illustrations, offering a more interactive and detailed exploration of the human body¡¯s three dimensional structures. The technique involved the meticulous arrangement of eight small illustrations on a single page, which were intended to be cut out and superimposed upon (or below) a large-scaled whole body figure of the vascular system or amongst each other to show the intricate relationships of the structures. This study was performed to reveal the Vesalius¡¯ intentions by rectifing the shortcomings in a previous report that attempted to replicate his technique. Furthermore, it involved a review of the terms he employed and an examination of the historical significance of his pioneering approach.
