Description: Award winning cultural historian Dániel Margócsy, PhD, from the University of Cambridge will describe the creation of the "Fabrica." This was a unique event in the history of book production and publishing with an innovative design to capture Vesalius’ personal learnings about the structure of the human body that was counter to the humanist tradition based on the original writing of the great Greek physician Galen.

Harrison Health Sciences Library.
