Summary
Ante Schwarz: Descriptive anatomy or anatomy of the human body I-II
Word to action.
Descriptive anatomy or anatomy of the human body, which I am presenting to the public in two volumes, I wrote in our language mainly for the sake of professional nomenclature, which is still developing in our country, so it is not only necessary for the general practitioner, but also for the health official. but also to every well-rounded person, whom the vocation forces to speak our native language.
And besides, the liberating of the human body is such a profession, which cuts into all aspects of human life. and should not lag behind other professions in our literature; in addition to the professional nomenclature, I therefore wanted to prepare this work as an educational book, so I based it on Hyrtl's descriptive anatomy, which is currently the best as a textbook. part into one whole.
Schwarz [švarc], Ante, Croatian physician (Požega, 25. XII. 1832 – Zagreb, 26. II. 1880). Having completed his medical studies in Vienna in 1857, from 1864 he worked as a county doctor in Križevci, and from 1869 in Varaždin. From 1875 to the end of his life, he was the secretary of the Department of Health of the National Government, working on many public health problems and editing a number of important health regulations. Thanks to him, in 1877, the Midwifery School and the National Maternity Hospital were founded in Zagreb, and in 1879, the Institute for the Mentally Ill in Stenjevac (today Vrapče Psychiatric Hospital). He was the president of the Association of Croatian Physicians (1877–78) and the founder and first editor of Liječnički vjesnik (1877–80). He dealt with Croatian medical nomenclature, which he included in his main work Descriptive anatomy or dissection of the human body (1873–74); it is the first major scientific medical work in the Croatian language, intended as a textbook for the intended medical faculty in Zagreb.
