Flipping Through the Pages of an Educational Anatomy Book from 1661 | From the Stacks

Before medical students had access to cadavers, anatomical models, or computer models, there were few available resources to learn about human anatomy. One of those resources was educational books containing detailed, interactive illustrations of the human body depicting both the appearance of our internal organs as well as the many complex layers and systems hidden beneath our skin. Join Heidi Nance, Director of the Historical Medical Library, for a deep dive into our own copy of one such book: "Kleiner Welt Spiegel" by Johann Remmelin, published in Germany in 1661.
