First printed in 1495, Fasciculus medicinae was among the earliest illustrated medical books and remained influential for centuries. The work brings together a range of medical texts and diagrams that reflect medieval understandings of the human body and its treatment. In this period, medicine was often closely connected to astrology, and physicians believed that celestial movements could influence health and disease. Even in later editions such as this one, the book preserves earlier visual and intellectual traditions that shaped the study of the body before the rise of modern anatomical science.
