The Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto

for “Vesalius at 500: An Exhibition Commemorating the Five-Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Andreas Vesalius.”

About

“The committee found this catalog to be well written and designed, and predicted that it will be used as a scholarly resource on Vesalius for years to come,” noted Faulds. “The unusual tall and narrow format and well reproduced images, including some on useful foldouts, helped showcase the famous illustrations from Vesalius’ most famous work, the landmark work on human anatomy “De humani corporis fabrica’.”
