Excerpt from The Study of Anatomy, Historically and Legally Considered: A Paper Read at the Meeting of the American Social Science Association, September 9, 1880It is stated that practical anatomy was taught at Padua, as early as 1151 and also, that in the code made for Sicily, by Frederic II., who died in 1250, there was a law which forbade any one to practice surgery unless he had been instructed previously in anatomy. The statement is also made that public courses in human anatomy were given during his reign, though no docu ments are cited to substantiate it. There is no dispute, however, that Mondino publicly dissected two subjects as early as 1315, and some writers give 1308 as the date.We find many bulls of Popes and canons of Councils regarding the study and practice of physic and surgery by monks, from the time of the Council of Laodicea, in 366 A. D., when the priest hood were -forbidden to study enchantment, mathematics, and astrology, and the binding of the soul by amulets, till 1215, when Pope Innocent III. Is said to have fulminated an anathema against bloody operations in surgery. \although these utterances of the Church are interesting, we pass them by as being outside the scope of this paper.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
