Andreas Vesalius, De humani corporis fabrica, 1543, p. 174.
In 1543, Vesalius asked Johannes Oporinus to publish the seven-volume De humani corporis fabrica (On the fabric of the human body), a groundbreaking work of human anatomy. It emphasized the priority of dissection and what has come to be called the "anatomical view" of the human body.
