Guy godmother

Guy Patin (also in the spelling Gui Patin ; born August 31, 1601 in Hodenc-en-Bray , Département Oise , † August 30, 1672 in Paris ) was a French physician, professor of surgery and medicine, as well as poet and writer.

Life

Guy Patin came from a family of lawyers, went to the Collège de Beauvais and in Paris to the Collège de Boncourt . He first studied theology, but decided against the parents' will to study medicine. He then studied medicine in Paris, worked as a proofreader in a printing company and received his doctorate in medicine in 1624. In 1625 he married a wealthy woman.

Act

1646 was appointed godmother to the chair of surgery in Paris. Godmother was dean ( doyen ) of the medical faculty in Paris from 1650 to 1652 . In 1654 he succeeded Riolan , who held the chair of anatomy, botany and pharmacy, and from 1655 professor of medicine at the Collège Royale ( Collège de France ).

He was a member of the Academy of Henri Louis Habert de Montmor .

He is known for his correspondence, which shows him as an early free thinker and is also significant as a document of medical history. It was published around ten years after his death. Godmother also wrote poetry, organized revisions, and was known as a book collector. He dealt with officially banned books like his son Charles Godmother . Both were therefore arrested in 1666 and Charles Patin received a life sentence in 1668.
