Title: The anatomist anatomis'd
Description: In my previous book on the history of anatomy, The Anatomical Renaissance (1997), I argued that the practice of anatomy had not been monolithic: all the anatomists from Aristotle to the Renaissance had not been engaged in a single cumulative investigative enterprise, but there were several different enterprises of anatomical investigation carried out by different people at different times and undetaken for particular reasons.
