Dissection à la Renaissance | L'Histoire nous le dira # 59 (ft. @Scilabus)

We didn't wait for the Renaissance to dissect bodies; we find representations of them in the medieval period. At the beginning of the Renaissance, in 14th century Italy, medical knowledge was based on two great masters of Antiquity, Hippocrates and Galen. We rely on these two physicians to understand the human body, but also how to think about illness and healing. However, let's remember that Galen's work, to take just one example, has a drawback that seems quite significant to us today: Galen developed all his knowledge of the human body through animal dissections, primarily pigs.
