Jacopo Berengario Da Carpi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

JACOPO BERENGARIO DA CARPI (1470-1530).\u00a0Isagoge breves, perlucide ac uberime, in anatomia humani corporis<\/em>.\u00a0[Bologna: Impressum per Benedictum Hectoris, 1522].<\/strong><\/p>\n

Berengario<\/a> was a serious student of Mondino and followed him in all matters pertaining to anatomy.\u00a0 He wrote Commentaria<\/em> on Mondino’s Anothomia<\/em> in 1521, and corrected many of Mondino’s shortcomings and added in his own observations.\u00a0 He wrote his own anatomical compendium in 1522.<\/p>\n

Berengario’s illustrations lack detail, but his woodcuts are believed\u00a0to be the first to be taken directly from human dissections.\u00a0 The full-length figures are shown in action poses.\u00a0 His muscle figures and skeletons are drawn against landscape backgrounds in the same fashion used later by Estienne and Vesalius.<\/p>\n

Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical drawings received limited circulation, but the influence of da Vinci’s artistic techniques is evident in a number of Berengario’s woodcuts.\u00a0 This rare book is an important example of anatomical illustration in the pre-Vesalian period.<\/p>\n

You may view this book in the John Martin Rare Book Room, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences.\u00a0 Illustrations from 1523 edition available online<\/a> from the National Library of Medicine.\u00a0 Make a gift to the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences by donating online or setting up a recurring gift<\/a> with The University of Iowa Foundation.<\/p>\n
