Jacques-Bénigne Winslow was born on 17 April 1669, in Odense, Denmark as Jacob Winslow.[1] He was born to a religious family with his father being a Dean of the Lutheran Church of Our Lady.[2] Originally Winslow planned on following in his footsteps, however while in theology school Winslow decided to change to medicine after several discussions with a medical student.[3] Winslow began his studies under Johannes de Buchwald on anatomy, the sight of blood disturbed him so he did not study surgery.[4] During this time he showed himself to be enthusiastic and diligent so Kancelli Matthias Moth, secretary in Danske, awarded him a scholarship which allowed him to continue his studies abroad.[5] Winslow went to Holland and studied under renowned Friedrich Ruysch.[6] Later, he traveled to Paris and began working under Joseph Guichard Duvemy at Jardin du Roy.[7]

While in Paris, Winslow took the name Jacques-Bénigne Winslow after being converted to the Catholic faith by Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, whom Winslow considered his spiritual father.[8] This resulted in his disownment by his family and the Danish Crown and the loss of his scholarship.[9] With the help of Bossuet, Winslow was able to gain financial support from Catholics and scholarships which allowed him to finish his study in Paris and finish his degree.[10] His first position after gaining his license was as a general doctor at the crowded hospital Hôtel-Dieu.[11] In addition to this work, Winslow started his famous lectures and anatomical demonstrations. [12] In 1708, winslow became a full member of Académie Royale des Sciences and publish many of his scientific contributions in Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences.[13] In 1732, Winslow published Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body, which quickly became one of the mainstays in anatomy at that time and was published in several languages.[14] Winslow spent the rest of his life in Paris doing lectures on anatomy in the anatomical theater of Rue de la Bûcherie.[15] Winslow died in April 1760, and was buried in the Church of Saint-Benôit in Paris.[16]

Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body was originally published in French in 1732, and was later translated into English by G. Douglas, M.D.[17] It is a two volume book separated into ten sections based on various anatomical parts.[18] The first volume contains the sections on the skeleton, fresh bones, and the muscles; the second volume contains sections on the arteries, veins, nerves, parts of the body in general, the abdomen, thorax, and the head.[19] Each of these sections are further subdivided into the smaller units of the general anatomy and discussions on their functions within the body.[20] At the end of the book, there are four tables diagramming the areas of the body discussed throughout the book.[21]
