Abstract
In 1620, John Moir said, “Self-knowledge can, and ought, to apply not only to the soul, but also to the body; the man without insight into the fabric of his body has no knowledge of himself. This idea, written over four centuries ago, will be embraced by our readers. This issue of Clinical Anatomy includes original studies on soleus and Scarpa's fasciae, the nerve to zygomaticus major, and a novel method of evaluating bone density. Additionally, educational and historical papers are included.
John Moir was a student at Marischal College, founded in 1593 in Aberdeen, located in the northeast part of Scotland. His lecture notes have been published, giving insight into medical education in the early 17th century (French, 1975). For example, he notes, “nerves have no perceptible cavity internally, as the veins and arteries have.”

期刊介绍:
Clinical Anatomy is the Official Journal of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists and the British Association of Clinical Anatomists. The goal of Clinical Anatomy is to provide a medium for the exchange of current information between anatomists and clinicians. This journal embraces anatomy in all its aspects as applied to medical practice. Furthermore, the journal assists physicians and other health care providers in keeping abreast of new methodologies for patient management and informs educators of new developments in clinical anatomy and teaching techniques. Clinical Anatomy publishes original and review articles of scientific, clinical, and educational interest. Papers covering the application of anatomic principles to the solution of clinical problems and/or the application of clinical observations to expand anatomic knowledge are welcomed.
