Heinrich von Mondeville , French Henri de Mondeville (also Henry de Mondeville and Hermondaville ), Latinized Henricus de Mondavilla (* around 1260 probably in Émondeville / today in the department of Manche ; † after 1325 in Paris ), was a Norman surgeon , teacher of anatomy in Montpellier and personal physician of Philip the Fair .

Life

Heinrich (Henri) probably spent his childhood in Normandy . He began studying medicine in Montpellier or Paris. He studied surgery and anatomy at the University of Bologna , as did his later student Guy de Chauliac , who published a "Major Surgery". He studied in Paris with the surgeons Lanfrank of Milan and Jean Pitard and in Bologna with Teodorico Borgognoni . Subsequently taught at the University of Montpellier .

Heinrich's students also included the West Flemish surgeon Jan Yperman (1269/65 to around 1350) and Thomas von Schellingh, who also taught surgery.

Heinrich was appointed surgeon (body wound doctor) to the French King Philip the Fair in 1298 , worked as a teacher for his children and later (1312) as an envoy to England from Arras.

In Montepellier in 1304 he began the work completed in 1314 on his work "Cyrurgia", the first French textbook on surgery, with which he tried to introduce innovations in surgery (predecessor of Chauliacs "Chirurgia Magna"). From Galen he adopted the theory of the two chambers of the human uterus . He was the first to use display boards and anatomical models to illustrate his lectures. In addition to surgery, he dealt with medical deontology . The Aristotelian philosophy flowed into his work . He was the predecessor of Mondino dei Luzzi in Bologna.
