These features reveal the confl icted and con- tested importance of seeing anatomy, compelling us to examine and revise our assumptions about the relationships between anatomy, observation, and early science. They also explain how Padua established itself as a center for anatomical research in the period between Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey. Drawing from traditional sources, such as anatomy texts and institu- tional documents, and new sources, such as the letters and rec ords of students, Theaters of Anatomy invites the reader to reconsider the post- Vesalian era of anatomical inquiry. The post- Vesalian era covers the de- velopment of anatomical inquiry in the wake of Vesalius’s departure from the university of Padua in 1542.1 In this era, the Venetian- controlled city of Padua is particularly remarkable because it hosted a succession of famous anatomists— Realdo Columbo (1516– 1559) and Gabriele Fallop- pio (1523– 1562), as well as Girolamo Fabrici (1533– 1619), Giulio Casseri (1552– 1616), Adriano Spigelio (1578– 1625), Johann Veslingus (1598– 1649), and, as a student, William Harvey (1578– 1657). Among these fi gures, Fa- brici deserves special attention because he instituted a natural philo- sophical program of anatomical inquiry and held the chair in anatomy and surgery from 1565 to 1609, a long period in which he became a pow- erful fi gure at the university.2 Rather than substitute Fabrici for Vesalius in a familiar story of progress, however, I use Fabrici (and his successors) and his students to bring into focus the several forces that interacted and came to constitute the public and private worlds of university anatomy between the 1550s and the 1620s. xii p r e f a c e Fabrici’s program was intimately linked to the construction of two permanent and increasingly public anatomical theaters, built consecu- tively in the central building of the university in 1584– 1585 and 1594– 1595. Both theaters were a sign of the strong, supportive relationship between the university and the Republic of Venice and a portent of anatomy’s grow- ing academic and cultural signifi cance. In these new places, a highly dramatic tradition of public anatomy demonstrations emerged; with mu- sic in the background, anatomists engaged in the study of anatomy and promoted it for a varied audience of professors and students, as well as shoemakers, fi shmongers, and basket weavers. The demonstra- tion evolved from a purely academic event into a spectacle rich with sym- bolic and civic signifi cance. It publicized the study of anatomy and quickly transformed the demonstration into an event with wider cultural signifi - cance. Anatomists enjoyed frequent pay raises and, for a time, increas- ing numbers of students. Finally, while it and other centers of medical education were well known for their anatomical publications, Padua was additionally known for its anatomical theaters and its anatomical per for mances.3 In tandem with this public tradition, a private tradition of anatomi- cal lessons and dissections survived and, in the fi nal de cades of the century, fl ourished. The private tradition acquired greater signifi cance in the post- Vesalian period because the public tradition of anatomy consoli- dated itself so fully around the philosophical tenets of Fabrici’s program. The private venues of anatomy came to be seen, by students especially, as contrasts to the public arena. If the public arena elaborated the philo- sophical dimensions of anatomy and more contemplative inquiries about nature, the private arenas brought students face to face with cadavers, with the procedures of dissection and vivisection, and with expressions of technical, manual skill. In private, students witnessed a form of ex- pertise, embodied in the anatomist, that depended on manipulating the cadaver, carefully distinguishing its parts, and expanding the study of anatomy with inquiries into morphology (the relationship between struc- ture and function) and physiology (the study of coordinated pro cesses). In one instance, an anatomist set up an elaborate surgical device to dem- onstrate the movement of the muscles, shuttling his small audience from corpse to instrument in an analogical tour- de- force. These novelties emerged in the private realm because of the ways in which the public p r e f a c e xiii and private traditions of anatomy had evolved to host pre sen ta tions that contrasted in style as well as in content. Despite such intriguing changes, the post- Vesalian period has not been fully characterized. Its developments have been kept distant from the main lines of thought regarding the history of anatomy. The period has been treated as a kind of distraction from Vesalius or a dilution of his message— to look and see for yourself— on the one hand, and an unnec- essary delay before the appearance of Harvey and his discovery of blood circulation (1628), on the other. In other words, this period has been seen as provisional because Vesalius’s approach to the study of anatomy is taken as the nearly direct line of inspiration for Harvey’s experimental proclivities.4 While new studies on Vesalius have emphasized his human- ist aspirations and his commitment to Galen and the textual traditions of anatomy, the assumption that Re nais sance anatomy merely introduced a new kind of visuality or a new visual economy for the study of nature remains and, with it, a diminished signifi cance for this period.5 Cer- tainly new ideas about seeing, observation, and visually derived evidence emerged in the early modern traditions of anatomy, but it is only by in- vestigating this provisional period that we can understand what they were and how and why they came about in the shapes that they did. This book thus draws attention to various features of anatomical inquiry, not just those that depend on sight. It looks at the cultivation of anatomical learning among students, both in decorated anatomical theaters and in private lessons, emphasizing the pedagogical, institutional, and rhetori- cal contexts of anatomical inquiry alongside the experiences of medical students. Each chapter examines the relationship between the public and pri- vate traditions of anatomy and the activities, concerns, and experiences of medical students.

He was born 28 converted to the Catholic of a farmer's family in 1417 in Flueli, in the Alpine foothills above Sachseln, in the region of Obwald. He married, had ten children, Church while watching the Portrait of Blessed and conducted a normal life until he was 50. Then he felt a very Nicholas Steno strong call from God to leave everything and follow Him. He therefore asked for three graces: to obtain the consent of his wife Corpus Christi procession, Dorothy and their older children; to never feel the temptation to turn back, and finally, God willing, to be able to live without drinking or eating. All his requests were granted. He lived for twenty years in the thus realizing the greatness forest as a hermit with no food except for the Eucharist, as many witnesses testified. and magnificence of the Eucharist; the Real Presence of Jesus in the Host. He then decided to become a priest and missionary in his own country. In Belgium, at Bois-d’Haine, the Servant of God Anne-Louise Lateau lived for twelve years without eating or drinking, and without sleeping, starting on March 26, 1871. On January 11, 1868, she received stigmata at her feet, hands, head, the left side of her chest and at her right shoulder.

El-Gendy and Catrin Sian Rutland 1. History of veterinary anatomy and physiology The anatomy of animals has long fascinated people, with mural paintings depicting the superficial anatomy of animals dating back to the Palaeolithic era [1]. However, evidence suggests that the earliest appearance of scientific anatomical study may have been in ancient Babylonia, although the tablets upon which this was recorded have perished and the remains indicate that Babylonian knowledge was in fact relatively limited [2]. As such, with early exploration of anatomy documented in the writing of various papyri, ancient Egyptian civilisation is believed to be the origin of the anatomist [3]. With content dating back to 3000 BCE, the Edwin Smith papyrus demonstrates a recognition of cerebrospinal fluid, meninges and surface anatomy of the brain, whilst the Ebers papyrus describes systemic function of the body including the heart and vas- culature, gynaecology and tumours [4]. The Ebers papyrus dates back to around 1500 bCe; however, it is also thought to be based upon earlier texts.

  • Tema Del Día
    TEMA DEL DÍA LAS RAÍCES DE LA GEOLOGÍA. NICOLAS STENO, LOS ESTRATOS Y EL DILUVIO UNIVERSAL The roots of the Geology. Nicolaus Steno, the strata and the Deluge Leandro Sequeiros * RESUMEN El De Solido intra solido naturaliter contento dissertatinis prodromus, uno de los libros más importan- tes para los inicios de la geología, fue publicado en Florencia en 1669. Su autor, Niels Steensen (también conocido por su nombre latinizado de Nicolaus Steno), fue un anatomista y naturalista danés nacido en Copenhague (Dinamarca) el 11 de enero de 1638. Estudió primero medicina en su ciudad y anatomía en Holanda y París. En 1660, visitó Roma y en 1666 se había establecido en Florencia donde fue acogido por el Gran Duque de Toscana Fernando II. En Florencia, estudiando los dientes puntiagudos que formaban diversas coronas en las mandíbulas de los tiburones, se sorprendió por su gran número, y sus semejanzas con las llamadas Glossopetrae, ob- jetos de piedra traídos de Malta. Steno pensó que ellos pertenecían a partes anatómicas de animales que habían vivido en otro tiempo, y que habían podido transformarse con facilidad mediante procesos quími- cos que no habían afectado a la forma. Los resultados llevaron a Steno a extender sus hipótesis a amplios estudios sobre las conchas de los moluscos antiguos, de los que describe su estructura y su origen orgáni- co, llegando a conclusiones muy cercanas a las aceptadas hoy día. ABSTRACT The De Solido intra solido naturaliter contento dissertationis prodromus, one of the most important bo- ok in the beginning of geology, was published at Florence in 1669.

  • The Geohistorical Time Arrow: from Steno's Stratigraphic Principles To
    JOURNAL OF GEOSCIENCE EDUCATION 62, 691–700 (2014) The Geohistorical Time Arrow: From Steno’s Stratigraphic Principles to Boltzmann’s Past Hypothesis Gadi Kravitz1,a ABSTRACT Geologists have always embraced the time arrow in order to reconstruct the past geology of Earth, thus turning geology into a historical science. The covert assumption regarding the direction of time from past to present appears in Nicolas Steno’s principles of stratigraphy. The intuitive–metaphysical nature of Steno’s assumption was based on a biblical narrative; therefore, he never attempted to justify it in any way. In this article, I intend to show that contrary to Steno’s principles, the theoretical status of modern geohistory is much better from a scientific point of view. The uniformity principle enables modern geohistory to establish the time arrow on the basis of the second law of thermodynamics, i.e., on a physical law, on the one hand, and on a historical law, on the other. In other words, we can say that modern actualism is based on the uniformity principle. This principle is essentially based on the principle of causality, which in turn obtains its justification from the second law of thermodynamics. I will argue that despite this advantage, the shadow that metaphysics has cast on geohistory has not disappeared completely, since the thermodynamic time arrow is based on a metaphysical assumption—Boltzmann’s past hypothesis. All professors engaged in geological education should know these philosophical–theoretical arguments and include them in the curriculum of studies dealing with the basic assumptions of geoscience in general and the uniformity principle and deep time in particular.

Though cadences have long been recognized as an aspect of modality, Gallus Dressier's treatise Praecepta musicae poeticae (1563) offers a new understanding of their relationship to mode and structure. Dressier's comments suggest that the cadences in the exordium and at articulations of the text are "principal" to the mode, shaping the tonal structure of the work. First, it is necessary to determine which cadences indicate which modes. A survey of sixteenth-century theorists uncovered a striking difference between Pietro Aron and his followers and many lesser-known theorists, including Dressier.

Cultural changes, scientific progress, and new trends in medical education have modified the role of dissection in the teaching of anatomy in today’s medical schools. Dissection is indispensable for a correct and complete knowledge of human anatomy, which can ensure safe as well as efficient clinical practice and the hu- man dissection lab could possibly be the ideal place to cultivate humanistic qualities among future physicians. In this manuscript, we discuss the role of dissection itself, the value of which has been under debate for the last 30 years; furthermore, we attempt to focus on the way in which anatomy knowledge was delivered throughout the centuries, from the ancient times, through the Middles Ages to the present. Finally, we document the rise of plastination as a new trend in anatomy education both in medical and non-medical practice.

No snowmaggedon this time. We had a bash! Lubricated by delicious foods and drinks, our revelers, ranging from octogenarians to ventenni, took to the dance floor in a wonderful rustle of costumes and masks ranging from elegant Venetian styles to the delightfully silly, all to the throbbing tunes of Italian pop provided by DJLady. Off in one corner, guests were treated to videos of Carnevale celebrations from Venezia, Viareggio, Foiano, Acireale, Putignano, Nizza di Sicilia, and others. Look for party photos in this issue. The turnout for the Festa was about 120 persons, with strong showings from Italians in DC, meetup groups, and D.I.V.E. as well as our own soci. One of the happy aspects of the event was that we found that we can cooperate successfully in planning such a complex party which bodes well for future ventures together.
