Abstract
The Teaching of Medicina at Naples University in the 17th and the early 18th Centuries is Somewhat difficult to Reconstruct,due to the Loss of Archival Evidences.The Research Project Relies on Student Notes, Conserved in Italian Librariesand in The Welcome Library for the History and Understanding Medicine in London.The Manuscript Notes are Likely to Shed New Light on the Little known Contents of the Medical Curricula,as Well as Contrasting the Commonplace of a Complete Decline of Universities as Centers of Scientific Innovation and active Debate in 17th Century in Italy
