Leonardo started his study in the anatomy and he made hundreds of detailed drawings on anatomy.
In honor of Da Vinci, we highlight two articles published in HCS-Manguinhos on anatomy and drawing.
Miguel Vicente Pedraz (Universidad de León) explores the book “la anathomía del hombre” by Bernardino Montaña de Monserrate, the first anatomy treatise to be written in Spanish.
En La lectura del libro natural Pablo Souza and Diego Hurtado, of Universidad Nacional de San Martín, explore the transformations in anatomical and surgical studies within the school of medical thought in Buenos Aires in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
