Venetiis, Per Ioannem & Gregorium de Gregoriis fratres, 1500 die XXVIII Martii The Fasciculus medicae is a collection of late medieval medical texts compiled by Johannes de Ketham, identified with Hans von Kirchheim, professor of medicine in Vienna in the second half of the 15th century.
It is the first printed and illustrated book on medical subjects and is accompanied by refined xilographies, mostly of anatomical subjects, by an anonymous master, however, approached by many scholars, for clarity of style and "classic" sense of balance, to the environment artistic by Andrea Mantegna. Printed for the first time in Venice in 1491 by the De 'Gregori brothers, the Fasciculus was widely circulated and went through numerous editions between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th, with the progressive addition of other medical texts.
