Taylor McCall's <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/12343/9781789146813">The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe</a> (Reaktion, 2023) is the first history of medieval European anatomical images. Richly illustrated, The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe explores the many ways in which medieval surgeons, doctors, monks, and artists understood and depicted human anatomy. Taylor McCall refutes the common misconception that Renaissance artists and anatomists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius were the fathers of anatomy who performed the first human dissections. On the contrary, she argues that these Renaissance figures drew upon centuries of visual and written tradition in their works.<a href="https://www.sit.edu/sit_faculty/jana-byars-phd/">Jana Byars</a> is the Academic Director of Netherlands: International Perspectives on Sexuality and Gender.
