Renaissance anatomist Gabrielle Falloppia is best known today for
his account of the eponymous fallopian tubes but he made numerous
other anatomical discoveries as well, was one of the most famous
surgeons of his time, and is widely believed to have invented the
condom. Drawing on Falloppia's Observationes anatomicae of 1561 and
on dozens of handwritten and published sets of student notes, this
book not only looks at Falloppia's anatomical lectures and
demonstrations. It also studies Falloppia's work on surgical topics
- including the French disease and cosmetic surgery - on thermal
waters, and on pharmacology. Last but not least, it uses student
notes and the letters of contemporary scholars to throw a new light
on Falloppia's biography, on his very special relationship with the
botanist Melchior Wieland, who lived in his house for several
years, and on his conflicts with his fellow professors in Padua,
one of whom, Bassiano Landi, was murdered just ten days after his
funeral - by Falloppia's disciples, as some believed. Written by
one of the leading scholars in the field of early modern medicine,
this book will appeal to all those interested in the teaching and
practice of anatomy, surgery, and pharmacology in the Renaissance.
