Judd, for a time the only medical missionary in the Islands, wrote the text in 1838 to teach basic anatomy to Hawaiians enrolled at the Mission Seminary (Lahainaluna School). Working from a standard elementary textbook of the time, Judd provided his students with more than a simple, straight translation. Rather than “Hawaiianize” Latin or English names and terms, he devised new vocabulary and explained medical functions and practices in words that would be readily understood by a Hawaiian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJudd’s use of Hawaiian terms and descriptions gives us insights into native cultural and healing practices in the early decades of the nineteenth century.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnatomia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a valuable addition to the growing collection of translations on native health and will be greatly appreciated by linguists, historians, and students of Hawaiian language and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUH Press, 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover, 208 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UH Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33901174259844,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1161\/7924\/products\/download_69_72377052-60f9-46e0-89da-2833199f3365.jpg?v=1674771007","url":"https:\/\/basically-books-co.myshopify.com\/products\/anatomia1838-hawaiian-text","provider":"Basically Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
