This is a facsimile in 2 volumes and in full color of the revised version of De Humani Corporis Fabrica, printed at Basel in 1555.
The first version was printed at Basel too, in 1543. The publication of De Humani Corporis Fabrica has been a cornerstone in our knowledge of human anatomy, and it remains quoted as such today in all universities around the world. It is also known for the amazing quality and accuracy of its more than 250 illustrations, which include beautiful full pages plates attributed either to famous Italian painter Titian, or to his pupil Calcar, and for the outstanding quality of its printing and typography which was never seen in any other book before 1543.
