The above-mentioned works, apart from the book of Eustachius, which
is, of its kind, a real masterpiece, have but little importance. We have
cited them here solelv to show^ in what \ ears and in what countries the
very first dental monographs appeared.
GiROLAMO Fabrizio, of Aquapendcntc (1537 to 1619), a celebrated
anatomist and surgeon, wrote some very valuable works, among which
a treatise on surgery, in which the part relative to the affections of the
dental svstem is treated briefl\- but with great orderliness and clearness,
thus giving a very precise idea of what dental surger}' was at the end of
the sixteenth century.
