Gnothi seauton - Know thyself

The motto “Know thyself” (γνῶθι σ(ε)αυτόν) was inscribed on the pediment of the temple of Apollo at Delphi in the 4th century BCE and is at the origin of the Socratic wisdom.

“ - Who then are the true philosophers?

“- Those, I said, who are lovers of the vision of truth.”

Plato, a student of Socrates (The Republic)

From 1539 onwards the phrase “nosce te ipsum” and its Latin variants were often used in the anonymous texts written for anatomical fugitive sheets printed in Venice as well as for later anatomical atlases printed throughout Europe. The 1530s fugitive sheets are the first instances in which the phrase was applied to knowledge of the human body attained through dissection.
