Before

Was Belgian and learnt Galen's anatomy

Fabric of the Human Body 1543

Reaction to Vesailius

Vesalius's contribution

Dissections were done to prove Galen was right and not challenge him

Galen's words were read while an assistant did the disection

As a professor he began to question Galen

He experimented on humans

Was the basis for better treatments in the future

Very accurate textbook based on dissections and observations of human body

Corrected Galen's mistakes as he dissected on animals

Provided proof of Galen's mistakes for example a human has three breastbone parts not seven as in a ape

Criticised for saying Galen was wrong

in 1545 Thomas Geminus copied Vesalius's illustration
