Picturing the book of nature : image, text, and argument in sixteenth-century human anatomy and medical botany /

Because of their naturalistic pictures of plants and the human body, Leonhart Fuchs's 'De Historia Stirpium' and Andreas Vesalius's 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica' are landmark publications in the history of the printed book. Kusukawa examines these texts.
