Théophile Bonet

Théophile Bonet (born March 6, 1620 in Geneva ; † March 29, 1689 ibid) was a Geneva doctor .

Bonet was born into a family of doctors persecuted as prostitutes and studied medicine in several places in Europe. He received his doctorate in Bologna in 1643. He then worked successfully as a resident doctor in Geneva. From 1656 to 1666 he was city doctor in Neuchâtel and personal physician to the Duke of Longueville . With his publication Sepulchretum anatomicum of 1679 he published the first systematic compilation of the pathological anatomy from around 3,000 autopsies and thus paved the way for Giovanni Battista Morgagni to develop his modern pathology .
