Giovanni Michele Savonarola
Giovanni Michele Savonarola , also known as Johannes Michael Savonarola (* 1384 in Padua , † 1464 in Ferrara ) was an Italian physician, personal physician and university professor.
Life
Savonarola came from a noble family, was a soldier and then studied medicine. In 1434 he became professor of medicine in Padua and from 1440 personal physician to Niccolò d'Este in Ferrara, where he was also a professor.
He is considered the founder of conservative varicose vein therapy, published on thermal and therapeutic baths and wrote a widespread medical textbook ("Practica maior", first printed in 1479) and an early textbook on gynecology and pediatrics. Via its presentation in his “Practica”, this was also the source of the German-language textbook for midwives by Eucharius Rösslin the Elder, Der Swangern Frauwen and Midwives Rosegarten (Strasbourg, Hagenau, 1513). Savonarola was influenced by the Neapolitan doctor Francesco da Piedemonte (died 1320). As a pre-scientific chemist , he turned against the goldmaking of alchemists , dealt with pharmacy and described large distillation plants . His work on ornaments in Padua is of interest for art history.
He had two sons, Giovanni and Niccolò. The latter was the father of Girolamo Savonarola .
