The title page of Mondino de Luzzi (Mundinus) Anathomia, published by Martin Pollick van Mellerstadt in Leipzig, 1493, captures a significant moment in the history of medicine. This woodcut print showcases an anatomy demonstration conducted by Mondino de Luzzi himself. De Luzzi, an Italian physician and anatomist, is credited with being the first since ancient times to perform human dissection.
