The Tashrīḥi Manṣūri (Mansuri’s Anatomy) is the most comprehensive Persial-language anatomy textbook of Iranian medical history, which has greatly influenced anatomy textbooks written thereafter. In this paper, the Oradeh treatise of the book was investigated and some parts have been compared with modern knowledge. Twenty one points including the following topics were analyzed and reviewed.
