The treatise "De structura nervorum" by Jiří Procháska was published in 1779 and is remarkable not only for its anatomical and histological findings but also for its historical introduction, which contains a detailed bibliographical review of the contemporary knowledge of the structure of the nervous tissue. Unfortunately, the treatise has never been translated from the Latin language, but it deserves further analysis as a historical document about the level of neuroscience research conducted by a famous Czech scholar. The present article includes a historical overview of the contemporary knowledge of the structure of the nervous tissue up to the late eighteenth century from the perspective of today, a translation of selected chapters from Prochaska's treatise (a historical introduction about the medieval knowledge of the structure of the nervous tissue and an interpretation of his neurohistological observations), and an analysis of Jiří Prochaska's results in light of current knowledge.

Jiří (George) Procháska (1749-1820), a Czech anatomist, physiologist, and neuroscientist of the eighteenth century, ranks among the major figures of Czech and European cultural history. The works of Jiří Procháska, due to historical circumstances, were published mostly in Latin and only some in German. However, given that only one treatise was partially translated into English, the results of his extensive research activities are currently unavailable to the international scientific community. The achievements of Jiří Procháska undoubtedly belong to the major intellectual heritage of European science and certainly deserve attention as such, although his research reflected the time in which he lived and therefore has been reevaluated by later researchers. Undoubtedly, it is our duty not only to remember the work and legacy of Jiří Procháska, which significantly influenced the development of our knowledge, but also to try to critically assess his contribution in terms of today. This article surveys the important biographical events of Jiří Procháska's life, taking into account the significance of his research.

The Czech anatomist and physiologist of the 18 th century, Jiøí Procháska (1749–1820), ranks among the major figu- res of Czech cultural history. Due to historical circumstances, the works of Jiøí Procháska were published mostly in Latin and only some in German. However, given that only two of his works have been translated into Czech and one of them also partially into English, the results of his extensive research activities are currently unavailable not only to the international scientific community, but also to the Czech scientific community. Although his research reflec- ted the time in which he lived and thus has been re-evaluated by later researchers, his achievements undoubtedly belong to the major intellectual heritage of Czech science and certainly deserve attention as such. It is therefore our duty not only to remember the work and legacy of Jiøí Procháska, which significantly influenced the development of our knowledge, but also to try to critically assess his contribution in terms of today. The article surveys the important biographical events of Jiøí Procháska’s life, taking int o account the i mportance of his resear ch and teaching.

The treatise „De structura nervorum“ by Jiøí Procháska was published in 1779 after his appointment as a professor in Prague. This work is remarkable not only for its anatomical and histological findings, but also for its historical intro- duction, which contains a very detailed bibliographical review of previous knowledge about the structure of the ner- vous tissue. The treatise „De structura nervorum“ has never been translated from the Latin language, but as a histo- rical document about the level of neuroscience research conducted by a famous Czech researcher, it deserves fur- ther analysis. The present article includes a historical overview of knowledge about the structure of nervous tissue up to the late 18 th century from the perspective of today, a translation of the historical introduction about the medie- val knowledge of the structure of the nervous tissue and documenting the way in which Jiøí Procháska processed his bibliography, a translation and interpretation of his neurohistological observations and an analysis of the results in the light of current knowledge.
