This, the second of Mansur ibn Ilyas’s anatomical treatises, was written in 1386 CE and is the first known Islamic anatomical text to include full-body illustrations.

The characteristic stylised figure with an inverted head in Mansur ibn Ilyas's anatomical treatise strongly resembles those found in Latin sources from as early as the twelfth century.
