EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Doctor Petrus de Montagnana, a prominent figure in the world of medieval medicine, as illustrated in the groundbreaking book "Fasciculus Medicinae" by Johannes de Ketham from the second half of the 15th century. The beginning of the 16th century marks the publication of this seminal work, which holds the distinction of being the first medicine book to include anatomical illustrations. The intricately detailed xylography showcases Doctor Petrus de Montagnana in an upright position, dressed in the attire of a scholar or physician of the time. His serious expression and the open tome in his hands underscore his dedication to the pursuit of knowledge in the field of human health. The title of the book, "Fasciculus Medicinae," is inscribed at the top of the print, with the words "Johannes de Ketham" and "M.D.L.XI" (1501) appearing below. The importance of this work lies in its innovative inclusion of anatomical illustrations, which were produced using the woodcut printing technique. This allowed for the dissemination of accurate and detailed anatomical information to a broader audience, contributing significantly to the advancement of medical knowledge during the Renaissance period. The "Fasciculus Medicinae" served as an essential reference for centuries, influencing the works of later anatomists and medical scholars. This print is a testament to the intellectual curiosity and advancements of the medieval world, as well as the enduring significance of medical knowledge in shaping our understanding of the human body.
