Visualizing Disease

"There is a long and distinguished tradition of scholarship on the history of anatomical illustration, Domenico Bertoloni Meli rightly observes, but somehow scholars have scanted what is perhaps an even larger category of medical image production--pathological illustration. Visualizing Disease, erudite, profusely illustrated, richly documented, begins to rectify that omission."-- "Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences"
"This is an excellent book, based on extraordinarily vast, solid, and innovative research. In his previous books, Bertoloni Meli has already made very important contributions to the history of early modern science and medicine. Visualizing Disease offers an even more significant and original contribution, the first detailed and richly documented history of morbid anatomy illustration from the sixteenthto the ninteenthcentury."--Gianna Pomata, Johns Hopkins University
"A knowledgeable and authoritative survey of many of the most historically significant early works of pathological illustration. . . . It is a wonderfully illustrated and much-needed study that will be an essential reference for many historians of medicine, and especially those working on pathology, medical illustrations, representations of disease and any of the several historical figures featured among its pages. Visualizing Disease will inspire pathologists interested in the history of their discipline and, hopefully, future scholars exploring the history of pathology."-- "Medical History"
