Pastore, Alessandro (Author)
This article explores the interaction between the five senses, and especially sight, and the experience within the doctrine and practice of seventeenth-century legal medicine. Paolo Zacchia’s "Quaestiones medico-legales" are the ideal laboratory for testing the working method of the Roman physician in this context who was a consultant for the Rota Romana. Among actual cases outlined by Zacchia in his treatise, the birth and the life of monstrous and deformed human beings is a subject broadly analyzed. In writing his "Historia monstrorum," the author pays particular attention not only to the historical evidence produced by medical works but also to the news described by contemporary eye-witnesses or reported in letters written to Zacchia.
