Editing Andreas Vesalius (section)

==== Excerpts ====
<blockquote>When I undertake the dissection of a human pelvis I pass a stout rope tied like a noose beneath the lower jaw and through the [[Zygomatic arch|zygomas]] up to the top of the head... The lower end of the noose I run through a pulley fixed to a beam in the room so that I may raise or lower the cadaver as it hangs there or turn around in any direction to suit my purpose; ... You must take care not to put the noose around the neck, unless some of the muscles connected to the [[occipital bone]] have already been cut away.<ref>Andreas Vesalius, ''[[De humani corporis fabrica]]'' (1544), Book II, Ch. 24, 268.
