The library’s links with medicine’s history continue with its extraordinary collection of historical books. These include Vesalius’ ground-breaking exposé of human anatomy (1543), Ambroise Paré’s magnus opus on his surgical techniques and wisdom (1585), Harvey’s revolutionary unravelling of the circulation (1628), Morgagni’s clinicopathological observations that launched modern pathology (1761), and Jenner’s seminal treatise on smallpox (1798). There are also works by Galen, Paracelsus, Boerhaave and Osler, among others.
