註釋

Volume I: Book I: The Bones and Cartilages, is the first of the seven books in which Vesalius’ Fabrica is divided. All of the book’s celebrated woodcut illustrations have been reproduced from the 1543 edition, most to their original size, along with the famous series of historiated initials, in which putti and dwarfed men humorously perform some of the more grisly actions associated with dissection. Every word of the text of Book I has been translated, including Vesalius’s marginal notes, his preface and letter to the publisher, and the publisher’s note to the reader. Detailed translators’ notes at the end of each section explain the subtleties of Vesalius’s language, and there are indexes to the text, to people and places, to words from languages other than Latin, and to translator’s notes. The translators have also provided a historical preface, a translator’s preface, and an anatomist’s preface.
