Throughout history, illustrations had played a key role in the promotion and evolution of medicine by providing a medium for transmission of scientific observations. Due to religious prohibitions, color drawings of the human body did not appear in medieval Persia and during the Islamic Golden Age. This tradition, however, has been overlooked with the publication of the first color atlas and text of human anatomy, Tashrihi Mansuri (Mansur's Anatomy), by Mansur ibn Ilyas in the fourteenth century AD. Written in Persian and containing several vivid illustrations of the human body, this book gained widespread attention by both scholars and lay persons. In this article, a brief history of Mansur's Anatomy and an English translation of selected sections from this book regarding the heart and blood vessels are presented.
纵观历史，插图通过提供科学观察的传播媒介，在医学的发展和演进中发挥了关键作用。由于宗教禁令，中世纪波斯和伊斯兰黄金时代都没有出现人体彩色绘图。然而，随着公元 14 世纪 Mansur ibn Ilyas 出版的第一本人体解剖学彩色图谱和文字《Mansur 的解剖学》（Tashrihi Mansuri）的出现，这一传统被忽视了。这本书用波斯语写成，包含了几幅生动的人体插图，引起了学者和非专业人士的广泛关注。本文简要介绍了《Mansur 的解剖学》的历史，并翻译了该书关于心脏和血管的部分内容。
