[edit] Alexandrian School of Anatomy

I believe we inherited this from an old encyclopedia--possibly the 1911 Brittanica. It seems to be merely a collection of four largely unrelated anatomists who worked or studied in Alexandria at times centuries apart. Alexandrian school is a common term, which is probably what led to this title, but that isn't what this article is about, and I can't find any examples online or in print of this term being used elsewhere. Galen and Herophilus have articles already, and I created articles for Rufus and Oribasius. Since the useful content is elsewhere already, and this article appears to be nothing more than an accidental collection (not to mention being a mess of florid and biased turn-of-the-century writing), I propose we get rid of this. --Robth^Talk 00:00, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
