The aims of this article were to introduce a booklet entitled Harîta-i Vücûd-i
Beşer (The Map of the Human Body), which was probably published in İstanbul
around 1911-12, and to present its color anatomical pictures, transcriptions
of its anatomical terms and a vocabulary containing Latin explanations of
these anatomical terms. The booklet contained 12 color pages, with 16 color
pictures in total. The pictures in the booklet were quoted from a Western
country and the anatomical explanations were adapted to Ottoman Turkish. It
would be difficult to describe this booklet as an atlas of anatomy; however,
we may refer to it as an information booklet on the human body, which may
be of particular interest to medical school students.
