Abstract
Fabricius ab Aquapendente (Fig. 5.1) was the student and successor of Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) and Gabriel Fallopius (1523–1562). Girolamo Fabrici or Fabrizio (Hieronymus Fabricius ab Aquapendente) (1533–1619) practiced and taught anatomy at Padova for more than 50 years (Smith et al., 2004). Harvey was one of his pupils. In addition to his demonstration of the valves of the vein, Fabricius is best known for his description of the bursa that bears his name.
Published in collaboration with Enrico Crivellato and Angelo Vacca in “Clinical and Experimental Immunology”, 145:1–4, 2006
