EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from the Fasciculus medicinae, also known as the Compendium of Human Health, by Johannes de Ketham in 1498. Ketham, a German physician living in Italy during the late 15th century, revolutionized medical literature with this groundbreaking work - the first medicine book to feature illustrations of human anatomy.
In this particular illustration, we see detailed depictions of injuries and their corresponding treatments. The image captures a moment of urgency and precision as various weapons such as arrows and daggers are shown piercing through the body. It serves as a visual guide for surgeons and physicians on how to properly address wounds inflicted by these weapons.
The black-and-white engraving exudes a sense of historical significance and knowledge that was ahead of its time. Each intricate detail speaks volumes about the advancements in medicine during the Renaissance era.
Located at Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, Spain, this piece is not just a mere representation of anatomical studies but also a testament to human resilience and innovation in overcoming physical challenges. It stands as a reminder of our continuous quest for understanding and healing the complexities of the human body.
