Johann Dryander (Eichmann) (June 27, 1500 - December 20, 1560) was a German anatomist, astronomer and physician. In 1535, he was appointed professor of medicine at the University of Marburg. Dryander was one of the first textbook authors to illustrate with woodcuts and the first to illustrate a Galenic dissection of the human brain. An expanded edition of this early book, the Anatomiae pars prior, was published in 1537.
