EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of science and research. Taken from "Le livre de la propriete des choses" (On the Properties of Things), written by Bartholomew Glanville, an English Franciscan monk in the 13th century, this woodcut illustration showcases a dissection in progress. Translated by Jean Corbechon in 1372, this particular printed edition dates back to 1491. Intriguingly, five men stand around a naked male likeness on a table, engrossed in their study of anatomy. The atmosphere is intense as they carefully dissect and examine various parts with knives. This image offers us a glimpse into the medical practices and scientific advancements of the 15th century. The woodcut technique used to create this illustration adds depth and texture to every detail, emphasizing its historical significance. The headdress worn by one of the figures suggests that these individuals might be scholars or physicians engaged in groundbreaking research. While death looms over their subject matter, it is clear that these men are driven by curiosity and a thirst for knowledge rather than morbid fascination. Their focus is unwavering despite looking away from what lies before them. This thought-provoking print transports us back centuries ago when understanding human anatomy was still shrouded in mystery. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of knowledge throughout history and reminds us how far we have come in healthcare and medicine today.
