[The Polish anatomical terminology in De ossibus humanis tractatus tres by Jan Ursinus]

Jan Ursinus was a continuator of the medieval Latin tradition of the glossed medical literature, which in his works was limited to anatomy only. Polish glosses can be considered equivalents to Latin and Greek names and only sometimes we can meet some wider and especially precious polish commentaries. Numerous quotations from works of other authors prove that Ursinus knew a lot of antique and contemporary authors. He described functions of several organs and was acquainted with fundamentals of medicine. Ursinus demonstrated to be good creator of the Polish anatomic terms and his work has been appreciated both in his times and nowadays.
