This collection of articles produced online and in journals between 2014 and 2017 is enclosed with chapters of a more personal nature, giving us insight into both the highlights and frustrations of Dirix’s journey. The Quest for His Grave, Lost and Not Yet Found is a tribute to both its subject, Vesalius, and to the tenacity of the team that continues to ensure that the story of the famed 16th-century Flemish anatomist is told accurately.
About the Author: Theo Dirix’s stay in Greece from 2011 to 2015 was just one of seven diplomatic posts in a career that has spanned almost 30 years. He has never stopped writing travel stories (mainly about graves). As his wanderlust finally begins to fade, he may embark on a quest of a different kind – one in search of home.
