Johannes de Ketham's The Fasiculo de medicina contains six independent and quite different medieval medical treatises. The collection, which existed only in two manuscripts (handwritten copies), was first printed in 1491, in the original Latin with the title, Fasciculus medicinae. The book is remarkable as the first illustrated medical work to appear in print. This is the first realistic depiction of an anatomy lecture held at a university, namely in an academic hall at the University of Padua.?In the chair, a relatively junior doctor, the lector, is set to recite from Mondino's Anathomia. Behind the table, to our right, a senior doctor begins to point, in his role of demonstrator or ostensor. The basket in front will collect all the parts, to be carefully reunited with the corpse for burial. ?One only wishes we could see the faces of the attending students, from whose angle we are looking at the scene.
