Dr. Gabriella Zuccolin gave the lecture cycle at the University of Pavia
Dr. Gabriella Zuccolin (University of Cambridge) gave the lecture cycle titled "Medieval theories of generation: philosophical, theological, scientific, and medical-therapeutic aspects" for the students of Laboratory of Medievalistic (University of Pavia) on April 7, 8, 10. The lecturer concerns the problems of medieval embryology which is, in many respects, a broader discipline than what we today call "embryology" since it has been involved in philosophical and theological controversies about the nature of soul and body. Two members of our research group Ilya Guryanov and Yurii Rudnev took part in this course and also discussed with Dr. Gabriella Zuccolin their PhD theses. We hope sincerely that Dr. Gabriella Zuccolin will maintain academic relations with our research group and will have the opportunity of participation in our activities. See the photo story.
