Trotula de Ruggiero fu la prima donna medico d’Europa. La prima ad aver coltivato una ‘medicina per le donne’. Fu la prima ginecologa della storia, la prima e unica magistra della celebre Scuola medica di Salerno. Curò le malattie, ma si occupò anche di bellezza e benessere delle donne. Da tutta Europa, sovrani e gente comune chiesero di lei e delle sue cure. Trotula è stata a lungo osannata e, per secoli, i suoi insegnamenti hanno informato l’intera medicina occidentale. Ma poi è stata disconosciuta. La sua esistenza persino negata. Trotula attraversa tanto la storia, quanto il mito e, tuttora, a quasi mille anni dalla sua nascita, divide gli esperti. In questo libro ne diamo un ritratto il più preciso possibile, cercando di distinguere i fatti certi da quelli verosimili e da quelli falsi, e mettendo in campo tutte le ipotesi dei suoi biografi, da quelle degli apologeti a quelle dei detrattori. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Trotula de Ruggiero (11th-12th century AD) was the first female doctor in Europe. The first to have cultivated a 'medicine for women'. She was the first gynecologist in history, the first and only magistra of the famous medical school of Salerno. She cured diseases, but also took care of the beauty and well-being of women. From all over Europe, kings and common people asked for her and her care. Trotula has long been praised and, for centuries, her teachings have informed the whole of Western medicine. But then she was disavowed, and her existence was even denied. Trotula crosses both history and myth and, still today, almost a thousand years after her birth, she divides experts. In this book we give a portrait of her as precise as possible, trying to distinguish certain facts from plausible and false ones, and fielding all the hypotheses of her biographers, from those of apologists to those of detractors.]
