title: [The teaching of anatomy in Brussels before the founding of the Université libre de Bruxelles].
abstract: Between 1733 and 1788, a "College of Medicine" assured the training of the students of Brussels. The lessons of anatomy were successively given by Adrien Charles Joseph Van Rossum, Paul Ignace De Bavay and François Du Rondeau. From 1788 and until 1797, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Louvain was displaced in Brussels, and the anatomical lessons were given by Pierre Corneille de Brabant. Under French domination, the College and the University were closed, and replaced with a School of Surgery, which became Medical School under Dutch regime. Anatomy was taught by Jean-Baptiste Terrade, François Antoine Curtet, then Pierre-Joseph Graux, who became the first professor of anatomy of ULB when the young university absorbed the school during its foundation.
