Abstract:
Andreas Vesalius’s popularity increases with every anniversary. The commemorations in 2014/2015, the quincentenary of his birth, were no exception and may mark the turning point in Vesalius research. Hoaxes surrounding the life and death of this famed anatomist, some of which have survived despite strong counter-evidence published some fifty, and even one hundred, years ago are finally dying out, while new myths are swiftly nipped in the bud thanks to today’s speed of publication and communication.
