The late sixteenth to the late eighteenth centuries is considered among historians of medicine to be the heyday of anatomical studies at Bologna, where the university became one of the major locations for young European men to attend for medical training. However, this dissertation investigates an earlier period when Bologna was specializing in anatomical knowledge beginning as early as the thirteenth century. This project argues that Bologna developed a unique style of medicine that privileged anatomy and surgery and played a special role in the development of medical education that became widely influential in the medieval period. It emphasizes the ways that physicians arbitrated different approaches to the analysis of the body, while traditional anatomical histories often abandon Bologna in the fifteenth century as non-productive. In this way, it illuminates the medieval antecedents of mid-sixteenth century anatomical study and shows how these authors were deeply concerned about ways to train their students to become effective physicians. This stress on the context of the medieval thinkers breathes new life into the history of medicine during this period--on the one hand, freeing them from the traditional shadow of mid-sixteenth century innovations in anatomy and on the other, showing how the professors themselves engaged with both their vocation and their civic role.
