Hi agent00,
I located the origin of the word histology from a site which may be of
interest to you: Histology Stuff.
The origin of the word HISTOLOGY.
"17 years after the death of Bichat, that is to say, in 1819, A. Mayer
created the term Histology. In the sequence of the previous word
tissu, made use of two classical Greek root words (histos = tissue and
logos = study). The term histos meant originally any woven material.
In 1844, it was recommended for large usage by Sir Richard Owen
(1804-1892), a great English palaeontologist."
Who wrote the first textbook of Histology?
"It was Rudolph von Kölliker (1817-1905), a Swiss professor of Anatomy
? Handbuch der Gewebelehre (i.e., The book for teaching tissues),
published in 1852; so, some authors considered him the true founder of
Histology."
