Mondino de' LuzziLatin Mundinus(born c. 1270, Bologna, Italy—died c. 1326, Bologna) Italian physician and anatomist. Mondino reintroduced the systematic teaching of anatomy, abandoned for many centuries, into the medical curriculum and did dissections at public lectures. His Anathomia Mundini (1316, printed 1478) was the standard handbook for dissectors until the time of Andreas Vesalius. Though it followed Galen's teachings slavishly, with sometimes inaccurate descriptions of internal organs, it inaugurated a new era in the dissemination of anatomical knowledge.
