EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a heart diagram from the 16th century. Published in a 1513 edition of Anathomia corporis humani, an influential anatomy handbook written by the renowned Italian physician Mondino de Liuzzi, this schematic diagram offers a glimpse into the understanding of the human heart during that era. The monochrome illustration, created with meticulous detail and precision, is both artistic and scientific in nature. It depicts the intricate structure and functioning of the heart, providing insight into its physiology and circulation. This invaluable resource was widely used for over 250 years as an essential reference for medical practitioners. Preserved in the library of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, this particular copy serves as a testament to its enduring significance. The presence of text alongside the diagram further enhances its educational value by offering explanations and insights into various aspects related to cardiac health. As we admire this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of our ancestors' dedication to unraveling the mysteries of biology but also their contribution to modern medicine. This image invites us to appreciate how far our knowledge has evolved since Mondino de Liuzzi's groundbreaking work in anatomical studies during the late Middle Ages. Intriguingly merging artistry with science, this photograph captures not just an illustration but also centuries worth of progress in understanding one vital organ - our beating hearts.
