J\u00f3zef Majer (1808\u20131899), a physician and physiologist and professor at Jagiellonian University, was one of the founders of Polish anatomical and physiological terminology, in which he replaced Latinisms with Polish terms. \u201cThe Physiology of the Senses\u201d is an early Polish academic lecture on the nervous system and the sense organs\u2014sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch\u2014based on contemporary German and French knowledge.<\/p>\n
The book was published in 1857, during the period of Germanization at the University of Krak\u00f3w; Polish did not return to the lecture halls until the early 1860s. Published simultaneously in Krak\u00f3w and Warsaw by the related Friedlein bookstores, it reached readers on both sides of the partition borders.<\/p>\n
