More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of anatomy during the 'long' eighteenth century, this book explores the discipline's practical aspects, the training of anatomists, and the debates surrounding anatomical discoveries. It connects sub-disciplines such as pathology, generation, and comparative anatomy, highlighting their interrelation. While anatomy appears stable from historical figures like Galen and Vesalius, the author argues that it underwent significant transformation by the end of the eighteenth century, marking both its peak and the transition to new forms of knowledge and investigation.
