PREFACE
AFTER ten years preparation the first edition of our Atlas of Human Anatomy was published
between 1946 and 1951. Our experience enabled us to improve each of the subsequent editions and
the present one has also been thoroughly revised and enlarged to allow the inclusion of more
instructive illustrations.
Throughout we have adhered to our original intention that this work should be a well propor-
tioned Atlas of life-like illustrations primarily for medical students but also useful to the practising
physician and surgeon. The introduction of topographical illustrations in the third volume has been
welcomed by readers and, while not embarking on histology, semi-microscopic figures have been
introduced into some chapters for a better understanding of function.
We did not deviate without reason from the currently accepted methods of illustrating the
elements of the different systems such as bones, joints, muscles, vessels and nerves and we were at
pains to base our illustrations on original dissections and to include in them only essential details.
The use of colour in the illustrations, introduced by the Italian anatomist Aselli (1627), was with
didactic intent.
We have decided to add as soon as possible a short explanatory text to the illustrations in
order to emphasise their important features.
The legends to the illustrations of this edition use the nomenclature of the 4 4 Nomina Anatomica",
Paris 1955 (PNA) as revised in New York in 1960. In case where suitable names were not available
in this new terminology we retained the old clinical nomenclature; this is indicated in the Index
with an asterisk. Eponymes and those names in the Basle and Jena nomenclature (BNA and JNA)
which in our opinion will keep their place in the theoretical and clinical literature are included in
the Index in brackets. English translations of the Latin terms are given in italics in the index of
each volume except those cases where the Latin itself is customarily used in English texts.
The illustrations of the Atlas were prepared by artists whom we had specially trained in anato-
mical drawing and they are based on the principle that teaching and practical medical purposes are
best served by their being slightly diagrammatic and generalized.
We have therefore excluded such details as would only interest the expert and have placed
clarity before uniformity of style. While we appreciate the importance of anatomy we must take
into consideration the constant increase in the claims of the other subjects such as chemistry, physics
and biology and the overburdening of the student which results. Nevertheless certain additional new
morphological data concerning the structure of the lung, liver and kidney did seem to require inclusion.
In the first edition we tried to include brain tracts and nuclei but their schematic representation
seemed out of place in a book of this sort and also as our knowledge of them is continuously
developing we deemed it best to leave them to the appropriate textbook. Our aim throughout has
been to exclude unecessary matter without "cutting'' the subject as a whole!
In the preparation of this edition we took account of the suggestions expressed in previous
reviews of the book and we thank our colleagues for all opinions whether published or addressed to
us in private correspondence. We also express our gratitude and thanks to S. Königseder M. D.,
former Assistant of the Department of Anatomy in Budapest and now at Peoria State Hospital in
Illinois, U.S.A., who with his excellent technical and organising ability was our eminent collaborator
in the initial workfor the first edition. Thanks are due to B. Zolnai M. D., Assistant of the Department
of Anatomy, Budapest, for his valuable assistance in the editorial and typographical work. He also
devoted much useful and conscientious work to the incorporation of the new terminology and the
preparation of the index.
We are very gratified that in addition to our previous distinguished illustrators, whose work
still forms the bulk of the present edition, we now have the fortune of securing the services of
J. Amberg, I. Balogh, Professor of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, Z. Bezzegh of Pecs,
and J. Kâlmânfi of the Department of Anatomy, Budapest.
We are greatly indebted to the Editorial Staff of the Publishing House of the Hungarian Academy
of Sciences and express our thanks for their devoted collaboration.
Our grateful acknowledgement are also due to Dr. G. N. C. Crawford of the Department of
Human Anatomy in the University of Oxford for his valuable advice on the preparation of this
English edition and for his translation of the index.
Budapest, October 1963.
