Editorial Reviews
Times Literary Supplement, August 13, 1999
...Book One, The Bones and Cartilages[is an] elegant and accurate English version [of De humani corporis fabrica libri septem]. The beautiful typography...matches the quality of the translation and the plates...What [Vesalius] wrote can now be more easily understood, thanks to this fine translation, and scholars will long remain indebted to its authors, and to its publishers, for their labours.
Nature
One of the publishing and scientific literary achievements of the decade
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, July 1999
"...an awesome feat... a brilliant piece of translation and scholarship...."
