Some of the earliest texts on anatomy was written by the Roman physician Galen of Pergamon (129-217 AD). However, many of the internal descriptions came from apes and pigs, because Roman law prohibited dissecting cadavers. He also studied human tissues exposed by injuries or wounds, referring to them as "windows" into the body.
The great artist Leonardo da vinci (1452-1519) did extensive anatomical drawings of the human body, many in connection to his art and his scientific investigations.
But it was Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) who in 1543 provided the first comprehensive illustrated text on anatomy, the seven-volume De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Body). This not only provided new insight into anatomy, but corrected many mistaken perceptions of earlier scholars. Vesalius is considered the founder of modern human anatomy.
