This edition sets out in parallel texts the Latin original and the Middle English translation of the medieval medical text, the "Anatomia", which in its original form is the fourth book of the "Chirurgia" by William of Saliceto (?1210-?1285), the influential and innovative Italian doctor and surgeon. Saliceto was the first medieval medical practitioner to attempt to reunite surgery and medicine, and the "Anatomia" describes a capite ad calcem those parts of the body and their positions that are important for a surgeon. The "Anatomia" founded the genre of topographical or regional anatomy. The Introduction explores whether and to what degree the three manuscripts of this Middle English translation of the "Anatomia" are indicative of the early development of Middle English medical terminology. The evidence shows a significant increase in the number of medical words in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, when English authors regained confidence in the subject through a wave of translations. Apart from a number of words and phrases that are recorded in the three manuscripts for the first time, these witnesses of the Middle English "Anatomia" illustrate confusion in the search for a common English medical terminology, although the treatise also shows a tendency towards a unified anatomical vocabulary based on Latin. The edition includes a Commentary and Glossary along with four appendices of related materials.

"This beautiful, enthralling book represents the rarest of human achievements: a work of great scientific merit that is a magnificent work of art as well. Bernard Siegfried Albinus was the greatest descriptive anatomist of the eighteenth century. Over a period of twenty years, he produced two volumes of drawings, Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body and Tables of the Human Bones, that have long been revered for their beauty, skill, artistry, and anatomical accuracy. This finely made edition makes them available to the general public at an easily affordable price for the first time since their publication in 1747."--Page 4 of cover.

"In this forgotten treatise, preserved largely in medieval translations into Arabic and Latin, the greatest medical scientist of antiquity investigates the relationship between conscious and unconscious movements. He looks at the structure of the tongue and the oesophagus, and asks why mental perceptions can have physical effects on the body. Some of his questions still trouble modern scientists, although they would not accept most of his answers. The extensive Introduction and Commentary explain the medical background for non-medical specialists, and discuss the place of this treatise and of anatomy in medieval medicine down to Leonardo da Vinci. As well as being the first English translation of this important work, this is also the first comparative study of medieval translations of the same ancient text, and is based on new editions and collations of all three. The Commentary pays special attention to the linguistic elements involved in making these translations"--Provided by publisher.
