worldhistoryfacts:Early anatomical drawings. Left: from an 18th century Venetian Hebrew encyclopedia; right, from 15th century PersiaHere’s another example of 15th century anatomical images from LJS 49, Rawḍat al-adhhān fī maʻrifat tashrīḥ badan al-insān, a Persian manuscript. This is a later copy, probably in the hand of the author, of an anatomy treatise originally written in 1396, with chapters on bones, nerves, veins, arteries and muscles, and complex organs - all of which have their own illustrations! Note the last illustration includes a fetus in utero, which has been scratched out at a later date. -- source link
