Packet 7: Tossup 4

Kalyanam Shivkumar has campaigned to replace a detailed reference on this field created by the Nazi Eduard Pernkopf. (10[1])Jan van Calcar may have illustrated books on this field whose Flemish author defended his skepticism in the China Root (10[1])Epistle before he was shipwrecked on Zante. La Specola in Florence collects objects made for teaching this field by Clemente Susini, whose so-called “Venus” is displayed at Vienna’s Josephinum. Public teachings on this field were restored by (10[1])Mondino de Luzzi (-5[1])and performed in Uppsala’s Gustavinium, (10[1])which housed one of its early modern “theatres” (10[2])based (10[1])on that of Padua. (10[2]-5[1])Grant’s atlas (-5[1])illustrates “gross” levels of this (10[1])field, (10[1])which was studied by “long robes” to elevate their battlefield services above common barbers’. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 (-5[1])points, (-5[1])Andreas Vesalius (10[1])wrote seven books on what (-5[1])field that later surgeons learned from Gray’s? ■END■ (10[7])
