Johannes Baptista Montanus

Johannes Baptista Montanus (also: Giovanni Battista Monte, Gian Battista Da Monte ) (* 1498 in Verona ; † May 6, 1551 ) was professor at the Universities of Ferrara and Padua . He was seen as the "second Galen ".

Life

Montanus was a fellow student and friend of Andreas Vesalius .

He established clinical medicine. He was the first in Europe to teach medicine and diagnosis in the presence of patients and was the first to give clinical classes at the San Francesco Hospital in Padua. His students included u. a. Valentinus Lublinus and Johann Crato von Krafftheim .

Montanus introduced the autopsy as a means of acquiring medical knowledge, particularly in anatomy . For this purpose, the first permanent anatomical theater was set up later (in the 90s of the 16th century) by Girolamo Fabrizio (Hieronymus Fabricius from Aquapendente).

He published the writings of Galens , Rhazes and Avicennas in various editions and is said to have been involved in the founding of what is now the oldest university botanical garden in 1545 .
