EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable piece of medical history - the work of Johannes de Ketham, a German physician who lived in Italy during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. His groundbreaking compendium on human health, titled "Fasciculus medicinae," was published in 1491 and is considered to be the first medicine book to include anatomical illustrations.
The engraving featured in this image depicts a classification table detailing the various colors of urine, providing valuable insights into how physicians of that time period diagnosed and treated illnesses based on bodily fluids. This illustration serves as a reminder of the advancements made in medical knowledge over the centuries.
Located at the National Library in Madrid, Spain, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of Renaissance medicine and highlights de Ketham's contributions to the field. The intricate details captured in this photograph invite us to appreciate both the artistry and scientific significance of historical medical texts.
Through this image, we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding human health while also acknowledging those pioneering individuals like Johannes de Ketham who paved the way for modern medicine.
