Bruno of Longoburgo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruno von Longoburgo (also: Bruno da / de / di / of Longoburgo , Bruno Legoburgensi ), originated from Bruno da Longobucco (* around 1200 in Longobucco , Calabria , † around 1286 in Padua ), was an Italian surgeon and author of a Chirurgia magna .

Life

According to the natural science historian George Sarton , Bruno studied medicine in Salerno . According to Mario Tabanelli , which seems more likely, he studied in Bologna under Ugo Borgognoni . He practiced in Padua , where in January 1252 he finished his main work in Latin, the Chirurgia magna ("The Great Surgery") after stays in Vicenza and Verona . Bruno von Longoburgo helped found the University of Padua. He wrote in the sequence - probably in Padua - an extract from this work, which as a small guide for surgeons scale Chirurgia parva ( "The Little Surgery"), divided into 23 chapters.

As was later proven, a Cyrurgia by Teodorico Borgognoni (= Thiederik von Cervia) around 1265 (Gundolf Keil believes it is likely that Bruno could have died earlier) was a plagiarism of Bruno's Chirurgia magna . Guy de Chauliac was the first to note this in the introductory chapter singular to his work, also called Chirurgia Magna .

Chirurgia magna

The Chirurgia magna is mainly based on the surgical work of Abulcasis , which has been largely translated by Constantinus Africanus and others, enriched with the results of his own observations by Bruno of Longoburgo, who was an experienced surgeon. The work is divided into two books of 20 chapters.

He begins his writing with a definition of the operation, which primarily means manual labor. He postulates that it has to be taken as a last resort if other measures such as proper nutrition and medicinal potions would not help. The decisive factor is that surgeons have to learn their specialty through long observation and diligence. You shouldn't be lepers or obese. You should abstain from alcohol. A surgeon has to cover three areas: rejoining separate parts, removing diseased parts and rejoining improperly reunited parts.

The first German translations of the work were made in the 14th century.
