Notes:
Dr. Charles Mayo Goss was professor and chairman of the Department of Anatomy at the University of Alabama (1938-1947) and at Louisiana State University Medical School (1947-1965) and continued to teach after he retired at George Washington (1966-1975) and South Alabama (1975-1981). He edited the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th American editions of Gray's Anatomy. He also was editor of The Amatomical Record for 20 years (1948-1968). His research was on the heart in very early mammalian embryos.He became very interested in the works of Galen and translated five of them. The sixth was published after his death and co-authored by his daughter Elizabeth Goss Chodkowski. He was anxious to show that many “errors” attributed to Galen are mistakes of translation, interpretation, or understanding.
