Abstract
The purpose of this historic review is to summarize the life, work and contribution to anatomy of Charles Estienne (also known by the Latin name Carolus Stephanus). Charles Estienne was an early exponent of the science of anatomy in France. Although he remained under the influence of the Galenic tradition of medicine, anatomy and surgery throughout his distinguished career, he had a significant influence on the scientific revolution and anatomy reformation of the 16th century. Nevertheless he cannot be place in the same level of contribution as Vesalius due to his lack of discipline in his work, hesitation to diverge totally from traditional beliefs and his hesitation for a total criticism of the Galenic tradition.
