A Historical Vignette (16) “Be proud of yourself: you have a History!” Following in the footsteps of Vesalius around Brussels

Abstract

Following in the footsteps of Vesalius around Brussels. Every physician is indebted to Vesalius! Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) lived in Brussels for about thirty years in all. First from birth until the age of sixteen years (1514- 1530), and later as an adult (1544-1559). These two periods of time in Brussels can be described by walking around some areas of the city.
