DESCRIPTION:The fifth centenary of Vesalius’s birth has been celebrated in 
 North America and Europe with thousands of events and publications\, recog
 nizing his Fabric of the Human Body (1543\, 1555) as a keystone in history
  of medicine and a major work of art. Now\, few people have read this Lati
 n description of the body —the first English translations date of the end 
 of the 20th century — but many people know the illustrations that accompan
 ied it. The engravings of the book — often cited as Vesalius’s work as the
 ir author remained\, for a long period\, unknown — have been\, since the f
 irst publication in 1543\, admired\, copied\, reproduced. The Fabric has p
 rofoundly changed the use of images for medical knowledge: it has linked u
 nderstanding and seeing in a new way\, that we can recognize in our contem
 porary medical imaging\; it has also established the beauty of anatomical 
 representations\, which is now perceivable in the fascination for Body Wor
 lds or Street Anatomy. Looking at the Fabric’s pages\, we’ll explore how V
 esalius conceived a new kind of book\, where he presents himself as the ge
 nial hero of a new science and of a new manner of writing science.\n\nLect
 ure given by Hélène Cazes\, Professor at the University of Victoria (Depar
 tment of French) and the Director of the Program of Medieval Studies\n\nRS
