Pratica anatomica ospedaliera a Milano al tempo di Leonardo (2020)

unapi

Starting from 1361, Lombardy became the epicenter of an almost uninterrupted series of plague outbreaks. The ducal authorities institutionalized the office of the "physicus epidemiae," a government physician (often a surgeon) entrusted with the task of promptly identifying and reporting suspect deaths caused by highly infectious diseases. It became compulsory to report all cases occurring in the city of deaths or pathologies that were potentially contagious, so as to allow the physician of the Office, commonly known as the "Catelano," to assess the nature of the death or disease. During the 15th century, the reports became more detailed. Information was gained not only from the testimony of relatives, friends and acquaintances, but also from an accurate examination of bodies. Anatomical dissection became a routine practice, although subject to the discretion of the hospital physicians.
