This is interesting, Chris, especially in light of your reference to Swedenborg whose work influenced Le Fanu as you will have seen in his story 'Green Tea'. I hadn't known anything about Vesalius bar his name. The mystery surrounding his death does sound fishy . . .
Glad to be of help Chris. Fruitful exchange is one of the best things about Substack!
