Gaspare Tagliacozzi and Early Modern Surgery Faces, Men, and Pain



Paolo Savoia, "Gaspare Tagliacozzi and Early Modern Surgery: Faces, Men, and Pain "
English | ISBN: 0367201747 | 2019 | 272 pages | PDF | 14 MB


This book uses the work of Bolognese physician and anatomist Gaspare Tagliacozzi to explore the social and cultural history of early modern surgery. It discusses how Italian and European surgeons’ attitudes to health and beauty – and how patients’ gender – shaped views on the public appearance of the human body.
In 1597, Gaspare Tagliacozzi published a two-volume book on reconstructive surgery of the mutilated parts of the face. Studying Tagliacozzi’s surgery in context corrects widespread views about the birth of plastic surgery. Through a combination of cultural history, microhistory, historical epistemology, and gender history, this book describes the practice and practitioners considered to be at the periphery of the "Scientific Revolution." Historical themes covered include the writing of individual cases, hegemonic and subaltern forms of masculinity, concepts of the natural and the artificial, emotional communities and moral economies of pain, and the historical anthropology of the culture of beauty and the face and its disfigurements.
