The knowledge of Anatomy during the Ottoman domination in Greece has not been widely studied. Medical knowledge of the time can be retrieved from folk and erudite books called Iatrosophia. The majority of these books focused on empirical diagnostics and therapeutics. However, a small quota of these Iatrosophia includes important information about anatomy. The interest in anatomy appears only after the Neohellenic Enlightenment (1750-1821) and has been associated to the scholarly background of the 1821 revolution against the Ottomans. At the same time, anatomy has been discussed by various authors in diverse contexts. All in all, it appears that a consensus on the importance of anatomy has been established among Greek scholars in the late 18th century, leading to the translation of current anatomical knowledge to the contemporary language and literature.
在奥斯曼帝国统治希腊期间，人们对解剖学的了解并不广泛。当时的医学知识可以从被称为 Iatrosophia 的民间和博学书籍中检索到。这些书籍大多侧重于经验诊断和治疗。然而，这些 Iatrosophia 中有一小部分包含了关于解剖学的重要信息。对解剖学的兴趣仅出现在新希腊启蒙运动（1750-1821 年）之后，并与 1821 年反抗奥斯曼人的革命的学者背景有关。与此同时，解剖学也在不同的背景下被不同的作者讨论。总的来说，似乎在 18 世纪后期，希腊学者已经就解剖学的重要性达成了共识，导致当前的解剖学知识被翻译成当代语言和文学。
