who is credited as the restorer of anatomy
Mondino de Luzzi Mondino de Luzzi, or de Liuzzi or de Lucci,[2][3] (ca. 1270 – 1326), also known as Mundinus, was an Italian physician, anatomist and professor of surgery, who lived and worked in Bologna. He is often credited as the restorer of anatomy because he made seminal contributions to the field by reintroducing the practice of public dissection of human cadavers and writing the first modern anatomical text.[4][5]
