Summary 

Introduction 

An updated bibliography of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) 

Compiled by Maurits Biesbrouck 

started in december 2005 

After more than forty years Dr. Harvey Cushing’s list of Vesaliana demands an upgrade. 

The present list combines the Vesaliana of Cushing with titles gathered by R. Calcoen and 

newly found earlier and more recent ones. They are arranged in alpha-numerical order 

while the list retains the already existing numberings. 

Résumé 

Après plus de quarante années il y a lieu de compléter les Vesaliana de Harvey Cushing. 

La liste présentée ici donne les Vesaliana des deux listes de Cushing avec les titres 

rassemblés par R. Calcoen, ainsi que ceux qui sont retrouvés ultérieurement et les plus 

récents. La nouvelle liste est établie dans un ordre alpha-numérique tout en sauvant les 

numérations existantes. 

INTRODUCTION 

To the best of my recollection, it was Dr. Johan VAN ROBAYS, pathologist at the ZOL- 

Hospital in Genk (Belgium), who drew my attention to the importance of an inclusive list of 

Vesaliana. Our initial meeting in Roeselare, on Monday the 26th May 2003, was to discuss the 

feasibility of creating a Vesalius Society in Flanders. As a result of this meeting, the idea of 

compiling all existing Vesaliana into one list was brought into fruition.

HISTORY OF THIS LIST 

INTRODUCTION 

Nowadays, due to their vast number, it has become virtually impossible to list, let alone to 

collect, all existing Vesaliana. Others have previously pointed out this problem. Ten years 

ago, their number was already huge. ZANOBIO noted that on the occasion of every Vesalius 

anniversary or celebration, the literature about the great anatomist still grows considerably. 

Internet searching of his name shows ten thousands sites, with numbers still increasing. This 

must be explained by the lasting and immense popularity of Vesalius. 

Today’s most used and best known list of Vesaliana is that of Harvey CUSHING in 

chapter X of the second edition (1962) of his Vesalius bio-bibliography (1). Before Cushing 

the only detailed Vesalius bibliography was that of F.M.G. DE FEYFER, forming the basis of 

his work (2). CUSHING (1962) gives two separate and complementary lists, each starting with 

the letter ‘A’, but with a continuous numbering. The first list, with 433 references, dates from 

the first edition of 1943 and is his. The second one contains 295 addenda by C.D. O’MALLEY. 

THE LIST 

Vesalius publications are divided into works by Vesalius, or re-issues of them, and of works 

about Vesalius, the so-called Vesaliana. Newly discovered editions of Vesalius’s works or 

new publications (Opera Vesalii) are, as a matter of fact, additions to the existent 

bibliographies of H. CUSHING and of Elly COCKX-INDESTEGE. They are not included in the 

present list, except when they are accompanied by a relevant commentary with a Vesalianum 

status. Vesaliana are publications dealing - in part or in total - with Vesalius or his work. For 

those that could not be consulted the source is mentioned at the end of the entry between 

parenthesis (Cushing 1962) or brackets [later ones]. 

Some remarks 

In the first edition of 1943, at the end of chapter X, eighteen more titles are added in a newly 

started alphabetical order but with numbers continuing up to 451. As O’Malley started his 

numbering with 434 and incorporated all of them into his list, there was no need for any 

correction. Attention to this is drawn by mentionning the original Cushing number in the few 

annotations concerned. 

The names in Cushing’s list are left unchanged, with the exception of GALEN whose 

name is rendered in Latin as ‘GALENUS’ to fit with the new added entries. In contrast with the 

present notation, Dr. Cushing sometimes placed a prefix as ‘del’ àfter the root of the name, 

e.g. ‘GAIZO del’ instead of ‘DEL GAIZO’. One has to keep this in mind within an alphabetical 

search. Attention to this is drawn by the addition of an entry and referencing to it, e.g. ‘GAIZO, 

Modestino del. See DEL GAIZO, 443 etc.’. As in most modern indexes and directories the 

Scottish and Irish Gaelic prefixes ‘Mac’, ‘Mc’ and ‘M’ are listed together. Care should also 

be taken with the fact that ‘Ö’ stands for ‘OE’ and ‘Ü’ for ‘UE’ so for instance "MÜNTZ 

Eugène" precedes "MULS, G.". 

iv

INTRODUCTION 

For evident reasons, since this is an alphabetical list intended to be expandable, 

whenever possible the full first names are used. To avoid ambiguity in calling for copies of an 

article, the names of periodicals are also mentioned in full and ‘ibidems’ are replaced by the 

original data. 

When an authors’ name is missing Cushing doesn’t always begin the reference with the 

title as we do (e.g. in the addition by O’Malley: 450. BASEL, ...). In these cases the title, 

accompanied by its original number at its end, has been moven to the right alphabetical place. 

Annotations or commentaries on titles by H. Cushing (001-728) are copied unchanged, 

except for the punctuation in some of them and when necessary a reference number is adapted 

to correspond with the new numbering. To avoid ambiguity, references to chapter X, dealing 

with the Vesaliana, in his own bio-bibliography are noted more clearly. 

For uniformity and presentation a careful attempt has been made to eliminate most 

typographical differences from various sources without disturbing their informative content. 

Except for those of Cushing the responsibility for the annotations is entirely mine. Although 

not always possible, a considerable effort has been made to give relevant information for 

further study when this is not evident from the title. Whenever relevant and possible, an 

English translation of the title is added. All entries have at least been double checked against 

transcription errors. 

Some inaccuracies have been dealt with in the following way: 

1. Due to the alphabetical inversion by O’Malley and in order to respect this logic the numbers 

for DELECLUZE and DELANNOY (respectively 481 and 482, now 442 and 439) were switched, 

with the original number mentioned between brackets as [HC481] and [HC482]. The same 

happened in the first list with PILCHER and PIERSOL (respectively 319 and 320, now being 

1409 and 1403 (originally [HC319] and [HC320]). Furthermore the references to ANDREAS 

Valerius (then 011, 012 and 013, now 38, 39 and 40) have been moved upwards between 

ANDRE Vésale and ANDREAS Vesalius where they alphabetically belong. 

2. Unfortunately Cushing did not always respect the chronological order. Here numbers have 

not been changed. 

3. The following titles in the second list have an identical counter-part in Cushing’s first list. 

Only one of them is saved, mentioning however the two original numbers: 

107 and 483, now 446 with [HC107] [HC483] 

138 and 507a, now 584 with [HC138] [HC507a] 

294 and 608, now 1240 with [HC294] [HC608]. 

4. In order to respect the alphabetical order, two references of O’Malley and Saunders have 

been moven from the top to the bottom of their sublist: 

617, now 1337 with [HC617] 

618, now 1340 with [HC618]. 

v

INTRODUCTION 

5. The following numbers in Cushing have been deleted because they have nothing to do with 

Vesalius: 30 (Baudrier, 1912), 79 (Choulant, 1841), 201 (Hundt, 1501), and 206 (Ingrassia, 

1547?). 

Sources 

It goes without saying that CUSHING, with the additions by O’MALLEY, formed the firm basis 

to start with. The titles that they contain which were published before Vesalius’s time - the socalled 

pre-Vesaliana - have been omitted, because they have nothing to do with Vesalius 

himself. The numbers concerned are 30, 34, 35, 54, 58, 66, 116, 147, 167, 269, 466 and 571. 

Number 338, a later publication, has been omitted too, for the same reason. After that I started 

screening for other published Vesaliana and searching for the relevant titles they contained. At 

the same time several ones came via the catalogues of the large university libraries and of 

antiquarians, as they are mentioned in the legend of sources. The already published lists, with 

Vesaliana mentioned by Cushing were looked at but revealed nothing he had not mentioned 

already in his publication. The World Wide Web delivered many Vesalius sites but only a few 

articles and books that could not be found elsewhere. The sites themselves are not cited, 

except when they allow downloading the specified article. 

In 1993 Roger CALCOEN published an important list of new Vesaliana that were also 

numbered (3). His 298 new entries since Cushing are recognisable by the mentioning of 

[RC1] to [RC298] at the end of the title. As with the Cushing numbers, they were saved, even 

when I could personally consult the article. Unfortunately the numbers do not always follow 

an exact order due to inconsistencies in alphabetical order and because the sequence of entries 

within the same author does not always follow the exact chronology. But a quick search for an 

item specifically out of Calcoen’s list remains possible: only the number RC279 is to be found 

between the references beginning with ‘Andreas Vesalius ...’. So by adding the numbers 

assigned by Cushing (1943), O’Malley (1962) and Calcoen (1993) at the end of each of their 

titles between brackets, the present list still permits one to find a Vesalianum on the basis of 

their numberings. 

Composition 

A serious attempt has been made to group several editions and translations of the same work 

into one entry only, but when sufficient proof was lacking a new entry was created. 

Completeness 

Although a considerable effort has been made to find all the existing Vesaliana, this list is not 

complete. Whereas Dr. Cushing achieved his goal reasonably well to include "all references 

to general literature cited in the preceding chapters [of his Vesalius bio-bibliography], 

including a few entries of purely bibliographical character", even today it is possible to find 

Vesalania not mentioned by him, although existing in his days. This is not a surprise since 

also for him "titles continued to accumulate up to the date of publication". The situation has 

developed greatly since then: growing numbers of new articles, books and the internet result 

vi

INTRODUCTION 

in a daily avalanche of new publications concerning the history of medicine and even more so 

those about Vesalius, who still plays such a prominent role in it. 

A major problem while creating the current list was the impossibility of seeing every 

interesting article. Many of them don’t bear the name of Vesalius in their title although they 

contain important information on him or his works. When absolute proof of this was lacking 

they have not been included. It is our hope that someone having the opportunity to examine 

them will be able to include the missing titles. 

Some figures may give an idea of the (in)completeness of my ‘unified’ list. Apart from 

the Cushing Vesaliana totaling 728 entries I succeeded in gathering 682 new references before 

I got the list of Calcoen. Out of his 298 references I had only found 142 of them, but my list 

contained already 108 entries with the lemma ‘Vesal’ in the title of references from before 

1993 that were missing in his list. This demonstrates clearly the magnitude of what may be 

lacking and the need for an update as well. 

In recent years many publications have appeared mentioning only once or a few times 

the name of Vesalius in a rather casual way without adding much new information. Entering 

‘vesalius’ on the search page of www.amazon.com delivers more than 500 (!) of these titles. 

For each book this powerful search engine mostly produces an review quoting all the 

references to Vesalius, including those in the index, and making it possible to read on line the 

complete page where they are found. For this reasons they have not been added to this list. 

New titles 

Many existing and valuable data and ideas remain hidden. Some scholars have carried 

out a lot of research of Vesalius and his works but only presented their results in courses or 

talks, without publishing their work. I wish to apologize to those authors whose work is 

mentioned partially or has been omitted. They are invited to let me know of any gaps or 

inaccuracies that they may find. Thus we can hope to maintain a solid and practical list of 

Vesaliana that will stay up-to-date and accessible to anyone interested. 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

My sincere thanks go to Apr. G. DE MUNCK, president of the Koninklijke 

Apothekersvereniging van Antwerpen (KAVA), who was so kind to give me a copy of R. 

Calcoen’s article and to Herwig DEUMENS of the Koninklijke Academie voor Geneeskunde 

van België for his most valuable remarks and suggestions. My sincere gratitude goes 

especially to Elly COCKX-INDESTEGE for her invaluable advice and continuous support 

through-out the project. Finally I wish to thank Prof. em. Dr. Omer STEENO (K.U.Leuven), 

Dr. Theodoor GODDEERIS (Kortrijk, Belgium), Prof. Jacqueline VONS (Université François 

Rabelais - Tours) and Rabbi Edward REICHMAN, MD (Albert Einstein College of Medicine - 

New York, Bronx), and all those who supported this work by supplying additional titles.

From 2007 on also the websites about Vesalius and his works are searched in a more 

systhematic way. They are added when their content is significant and the site allows 

downloading the specified article, even if there is no publication on paper. 


An alphabetical list with the second and third authors has been added.

Edition of 2009 = Update 2010 

INTRODUCTION 

The title "Vesaliana" was changed into "Vesalius Bibliography". 

The author Mondino (n° 1224) has been changed into Curtius (n° 412.20) and Linden, van der 

(n° 1114) has been changed into Vander Linden (n° 1844.20). 

Again more than hundred references could be added especially thanks to the indefatigable 

search by Prof. em. Dr. Omer Steeno. Several older ones, from before 1850, such as 

Gemusaeus, Ingrassia, Portal and many others, can now be retrieved and downloaded from 

books.google and are indicated by [BG]. 

Edition 2011 

With 122 new records during 2010. 


With 75 new records during 2011. 


More than 130 new records during 2012. 

From now on the translations of Vesalius’s works are also included in a more systematic way, 

as ‘AUTHOR, X (transl.)’. One may justly argue that translations are still his works, with a 

content defined by himself, and, because of this, do not belong here, as this bibliography is 

intended to be a list of writings on Vesalius and his works and not óf the works written by 

him. But translations unlock the contents of that works for a fast growing number of scolars 

not reading Latin, who will be glad finding means to read the passages of their interest in a 

comprehensible language, be it not precisely in his words. Moreover, Vesalius himself can of 

course not be held responsable for this translations.
