| 520 | _a"History of Embalming" by J.-N. Gannal is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This work explores the complex practices and historical evolution of embalming throughout various cultures, particularly focusing on the Egyptian and Guanche methods. Additionally, it shares insights into a new embalming process developed by the author, highlighting its significance to the fields of anatomy and natural history. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of embalming practices beginning with the author's preface and introduction. It introduces the motivations behind embalming, from the preservation of the dead due to religious beliefs to the respect for loved ones. Gannal discusses historical perspectives on the origin of these practices, citing various authors and philosophers—including Herodotus and Diodorus Sicculus—who have contributed to the understanding of the art of embalming. The author outlines his goals for the work, which include providing a comprehensive history of embalming methods while introducing his innovative processes to improve preservation techniques, thus catering to both the professional and general reader's interests.
