Manṣūr ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yūsuf Ibn Ilyās (منصور ابن محمد ابن احمد ابن يوسف ابن الياس) was a late 14th-century and early 15th-century Persian[1] physician from Shiraz, Timurid Persia, commonly known for his publication of the colored atlas of the human body, Mansur’s Anatomy. It is important to know that al-Jurjani (1040–1136) published a book called "Zakhireye Khwarazmshahi" which Mansur could have copied the illustrations from his book.[2]
