Have you ever seen this image? It´s appears in a later version of the "Lesson in Anatomy" (1316) from Mondino de Luzzi, one of the first greatest surgeons in western medieval christianity. Of course, he´s the one on the throne but, who´s the one that is manipulating the corpse? We know something. Her name was Alessandra Gilliani (1307-1326), the first woman cited registered in a book as anatomist and Mondino´s personal assistant, furthermore, she prepared the bodies for the lessons given in the university of Bologna.
