Resumen
The new surgical texts of the thirteenth century suggest that their authors wished
their subject to appear as a learned discipline, yet it was still communicated by individual
practitioners privately to one or two disciples, not in a university setting. But by
1300, surgery was beginning to be taught formally as part of medicine in many Italian
studia, for example, by Dino del Garbo at Siena, though Henri de Mondeville´s programme
to accomplish the same at Paris (1306-16) was unsuccessful. Surgery continued to be
taught in Italian schools in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, though it was of
much lower status than medicine, as is revealed at Bologna and Padua; during the same
period, surgeons in Paris eventually achieved a limited association with the faculty of
medicine there. Dissections and models were perhaps used in university teaching of
surgery, which nevertheless appears to have been primarily text-based.
