[On the scientific approach of Girolamo Fabrici d'Acquapendente].

The scientific accomplishments of Girolamo Fabrici d'Acquapendente are critically considered. Special attention is devoted to his position in relationship with the views of contemporary Paduan scientists such as Galileo, Santorio, Sarpi. Fabrici appears to represent the highest point of the XVI century morphological research, being in the same time innovative for his new observations and conservative for his substantially Aristotelian way of thinking.

[On the life, works and writings of Girolamo Fabrici d'Acquapendente].

An outline is presented of the biography, works and writings of Girolamo Fabrici d'Acquapendente. During his long career as professor in the University of Padua (1565-1613), he brought at its splendor the time honored tradition of the local anatomical school, both as a teacher and as a scientist. His major contributions (among which are his pitture colorate d'anatomia, embriological studies, description of the venous valves, establishment of the first permanent anatomical amphitheater) are briefly commented upon.

[The inclusion of Theodor Kocher in the work of the Trieste surgeon Gustavo Usiglio on thyroid gland tumors (1894)].

Gustavo Usiglio (1855-1933), a pupil of Billroth, was a surgeon of high qualities. The present author analyzes his main scientific work "On the tumours of the thyroid and their cure"; the book, which deals essentially with goitre, was published in 1894 at Milan and, in a 2nd edition, in 1895 at Trieste. Especially in the final chapter on therapeutics, Usiglio reveals himself as a fervent follower of Kocher.

[A forgotten "dialogue" by Arturo Castiglioni].

The author illustrates an unknown dialogue written in Triestine dialect by Arturo Castiglioni. The text is a description of the symptoms of venereal disease; the last part of the dialogue contains a dissertation about the nature and the origin of venereal diseases, written in Italian. A didactic inclination and a strong attention to every kind of precautionary measure make this unknown dialogue a very interesting text.

The anatomy and physiology of the optic nerve: historical notes.

The authors outline the historical development of anatomical and physiological acquisitions on the optic nerve. From the first descriptions of Alcmaeone of Crotone (6th century B.C.) through the Aristotelean school, we arrive at the systemization of Claudius Galen. After the medioeval parenthesis, it fell to Vesalius to give a new impulse to anatomical research. Varolio and Eustachi describe the exact point of origin of the optic nerves. Later observations involve both anatomists and physiologists. The question of the transmission of sensory messages is described (Willis, von Haller), as is the microscopic structure of the optic nerve (Zinn, von Leeuwenhoek). After the description of the decussation of the fibers of the optic nerve in the optic chiasma, research into this cranial nerve has an increasingly neurophysiological and neurochemical orientation, continuing until the recent discovery of axoplasmic flow.
