About this work

Description

Diagram comparable to the "six picture series" or "Alexandrian series" pasted or bound in Persian manuscripts of the "Zakhīrah-i Khvārazm Shāhī" ("Treasure of Khvārazm Shāhī") written by al-Jurjani (Ismā īl ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥusayn Jurjānī) ca. 1110 AD, and the "Tashrīḥ-i Mansur-i" ("Anatomy of Mansur" written by Manṣūr ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yūsuf Ibn Ilyā, ca. 1390 AD. The anatomy shown in the present version is however different from most examples of that series: it is of a western type, 18th-20th centuries
