  This first edition was published as a manual for medical students, and, although the book exerted considerable influence at the time, it was essentially Galenic in tradition and provided little new anatomical knowledge. In the second edition, probably published in 1540, Vesalius made a number of changes, and it is evident that Vesalius was beginning to suspect the errors in Galen, which he later exposed.
  Also included in this work is Giorgia Valla’s (1447-1500) De humani corporis partibus. Valla was an Italian mathematician and physician who practiced in Milano and Venice. Later in his career he taught at Padua and occupied a chair of rhetoric at Venice. In addition to his several medical and mathematical works, he translated a number of Greek scientific texts into Latin including selections from Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen, Rhazes, and Averroës.
