Girolamo Fracastoro


Girolamo Fracastoro (Fracastorius) (1478-1553) was an Italian, physician,
scholar and poet. Born in Verona, later educated at Padua, he lived and
practised in his hometown. In 1546 he proposed that epidemic diseases are
caused by transferable seedlike entities that could transmit infection by
direct or indirect contact or even without contact over long distances. The
name for syphilis is derived from his poem from 1530 which can be regarded
as the first treatise on the disease.
