Thomas Lauth (1758-1826) was professor of anatomy and surgery at Strasbourg, and was a teacher of Jean Frederick Lobstein (1777-1835). Giovanni Maria Lancisi (1654 - 1720) co-authored one of the finest books on artistic anatomy. Per Heirs 687, he “studied at the Collegio de Sapienza in Rome where, after first studying theology, he graduated in medicine in 1672. He served for a time as a physician at the renowned Santo Spirito Hospital and then taught medical classics for five years at San Salvatore College before being appointed professor of anatomy at the Collegio de Sapienza. He taught anatomy for thirteen years and from then until his death was professor of the theory and practice of medicine.” He was personal physician to Pope Clement XI. In his famous De Motu Cordis et Aneurysmatibus, “classifies various cardiac diseases, gives a detailed description of valvular vegetations, describes cardiac syphilis, and establishes syphilis as a cause of cardiac aneurysm. The causes and characteristics of aneurysms were the chief interest of Lancisi's long professional life” (Heirs 692). Christoph Jakob Trew (1695 - 1769) acquired and published Conrad Gessner’s (1516-1565) botanical watercolors in 1754-1759.
