Woodcut of the medieval cell doctrine by Johann Peyligk (1474-1512)

Download

Woodcut of the medieval cell doctrine (1518) by Johann Peyligk (1474-1512) in Leipzig. These are unique among woodcuts of this period in showing both lateral ventricles. This woodcut labels the functions of the special sensory organs but does not show connections between the special sensory organs and the brain. This edition does show a projected representation of the olfactory bulbs at the bridge of the nose. (Source: Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel, Lower Saxony, Germany. See: Lanska DJ.
