It appeared more than fifty years before foundation of the School of Medicine in Serbia. The book appeared forty years before promoting the High School to University. Joachim Medovitsh was of Polish origin but he lived and worked in Serbia. He was one of the most prominent physicians in Serbia and the first president of the Serbian Medical Society. Joachim Medovitsh, M. D. wrote his book after the model of the textbook of Karl Bergman (1814-1865). German anatomist and physiologist from Göttingen.
