Description
Anatomical illustration by Bartholomeo Eustachi (aka Eustachio and Eustachius), from "Tabulae anatomicae" (Romae Ex Typographia Pauli Junchi, 1783). Eustachi was born in San Severino Marche in the modern province of Macerata, Italy, some time between 1500 and 1510. It is uncertain where he received his earliest training, but it is thought that he studied medicine in both Rome and Padua. He served as the physician to the Duke of Urbino and eventually became physician to Cardinal Giulio Della Rovere in Rome, where Eustachi lectured on anatomy at the Studio della Sapienza. He died in 1574 en route to Fossombrone to tend to the Cardinal. Throughout his career, Eustachi was a staunch supporter of Galenic anatomy, performing his own in-depth investigations to oppose such reformers as Vesalius.
