You mention Giorgio Vasari's evidence of Michelangelo's dissection of corpses, but you give a misleading date.

Vasari was a contemporary of Michelangelo, publishing his "Lives of the most excellent painters [etc.]" in 1550 and 1568. The date given in the Entry is only the date of the twentieth-century translation into English that is being quoted.
