‘Mind-blowing’ edition of 16th-century anatomist’s De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem estimated to be worth up to £1m

A “mind-blowing” edition of his De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem, estimated to be worth up to £1m, is to be sold at auction for the first time since scholars discovered it was annotated by Vesalius himself.
