The Leg and Foot
On the
leg:
"What are the muscles of the leg which serve only the simple movements of the
foot, and what are those of this leg which serve only the simple
movements of the digits of this foot? And remember, when clothing the bones of
the legs with their muscles, do draw first the muscles which move the feet and
which you will attach to the feet" (qtd. in O'Malley 75).
On the muscles in the leg and
foot:
"The muscles that move the toes at their points,
both below and above, all appear in the leg between the knee and the joint of
the foot; and
those that move the whole toe upwards and downwards appear on the upper and
lower side of the foot; an and as the hand works with its arm
so does the foot with the leg" (qtd. in MacCurdy 98).
On portraying the foot:
"Make the bones of the foot separated somewhat
from one another so that one may readily distinguish one from the other, and
this will be the means of giving knowledge of the number of the bones of the
foot and of
their shape" (qtd. in O'Malley 12.)
