  Mondino de Liuzzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mondino de Liuzzi (1275 - 1326) was a medical professor at Bologna and a pioneer of anatomy in practice.
Mondino's practice was to read from a text (from Galen or one of his commentators) while seated in a professorial chair, with a barber-surgeon carrying out the actual dissection and a demonstrator pointing out parts referred to.
Mondino's anatomy of the heart is remarkably accurate, to the extent that he seems to describe rudimentary circulation of the blood, although he immediately repeats the old assertion that the left ventricle ought to contain pneuma or air, generated from the blood.

 Vesalius - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Andries went on to serve as apothecary to Maximillian, and later a Valet de Chambre to his successor Charles V. He encouraged his son to continue in the family tradition, and enrolled him in the Brethren of the Common Life in Brussels to learn Greek and Latin according to standards of the era.
Vesalius, undeterred, went on to stir up more controversy, this time proving wrong not just Galen but also Mondino de Liuzzi and even Aristotle; all three had made assumptions about the functions and structure of the heart that were clearly wrong.
In 1543, Vesalius published the seven-volume De humani corporis fabrica (On the fabric of the human body), a groundbreaking work of human anatomy he dedicated to Charles V and which was illustrated by Titian's pupil Jan Stephen van Calcar.

 Introduction by Vivian Nutton
Taddeo, Mondino, and their confreres were among the first Westerners to feel the effect of Galen’s rhetoric advocating the necessity for the union of hand and brain, of practice and theory.
Mondino had recommended that these should be investigated first, before the body began to putrefy, and their position late in the description of the Vesalian body is a deliberate reversion to the plan demanded by Galen.
Only Berengario in his Commentary on Mondino had written at such length on anatomy, yet his exposition lacked total clarity, and was organised according to the requirements of the lecture room, not those of the enthusiast for anatomy.

Galen described the hypothalamic infundibulum and the pituitary gland in De Usu Partium as the draining route and receptacle, respectively, for mucus passing from the brain ventricular structures to the nasopharynx, and named the capillary network surrounding the pituitary gland the rete mirabilis (2).
The Galenic concepts dominated scientific thought about the hypothalamus and pituitary for approximately 1200 years until the the 14th century when the Italian anatomist, Mondino de' Liuzzi, in his Anothomia proposed that the third ventricle serves as an "integrator" of body functions (Fig.

 The history of Bologna University's Medical School over the centuries. A short review
The problem had surgical relevance and in fact, several teachers who had written anatomical observations were surgeons, and thus they bestowed honor upon the position of "surgeons", which in past centuries had never been considered a scholarly degree.
Between the end of the XIII century and the beginning of the XIV, Mondino Dei Liuzzi who reopened the tradition of the Alexandria School, practicing vivisection, published his observations in an Anatomy book, used until the end of the XVI century, and in fact, began experimental research in Anatomy (8).
The famous textbook "De viribus electricitatis in motu musculari" was published by Luigi Galvani (1).

The Islamic medical philosopher Avicenna wrote in the early eleventh century that it was housed in the "faculty of fantasy," receiving "all the forms which are imprinted on the five senses." Memory preserved what common sense received.
By contrast, the great anatomist Mondino de' Liuzzi wrote in his Anatomy (1316) that common sense lay in the middle of the brain.
Aware of the contractions that had proceeded him, he affirmed that "there is only the sensus communis which is variously called fantasy and imagination." Look at the image to the left and right, both from the early Renaissance.

Andreas Vesalius was a Belgian anatomist and physician who is famous for disproving beliefs on the human anatomy introduced by great thinkers and philosophers such as Galen, Mondino de Liuzzi, and Aristotle.
He showed, by dissecting real human corpses as opposed to apes, not only the differences between the two, but also their similarities which influenced some of the evolutionary theories formulated some 250 years after his death.

In 1528 Vesalius entered the University of Leuven (Pedagogium Castrensis) taking arts, but when his father was appointed as the Valet de Chambre in 1532, he decided to pursue a career in medicine at the University of Paris, where he moved in 1533.
He remained at Leuven only briefly before leaving after a dispute with his professor.
Vesalius, undeterred, went on to stir up more controversy, this time disproving not just Galen but also Mondino de Liuzzi and even Aristotle; all three had made assumptions about the functions and structure of the heart that were clearly wrong.

Mundinus did, however, systematize dissection, and his work, Anathomia (or De Anatome), which was published in 1316, was widely used in European medical schools for over 300 years.
Particularly of note is that his anatomy of the heart is remarkably accurate, and contains the rudimentary details of blood circulation.
