Dot Porter, Curator, Digital Research Services at the University of Pennsylvania Library, offers a video orientation to Penn Library’s LJS 49, Rawḍat al-adhhān fī maʻrifat tashrīḥ badan al-insān by Manṣūr ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad, a Persian anatomist and physician. The manuscript was written in Persia around A.H. 813 (1411) in Persian and Arabic and it is a later copy, probably in the hand of the author, of an anatomy treatise originally written in 1396, with chapters on bones, nerves, veins, arteries and muscles, and complex organs.
