Marco Aurelio Severino (November, 1580 - July 12, 1656) was an Italian surgeon and anatomist.
[edit] BiographySeverino was born in Tarsia (Calabria, Italy), of Giovanni Jacopo Severino, a lawyer. He died of plague in 1656. Adept of the atomist views of Democritus, he disregarded Aristotle. He met Tommaso Campanella and corresponded with William Harvey. He was familiar of the works of scientists of the antiquity like Claude Galien and Lactantius. [edit] ControversyBesides his brilliant career as a surgeon and professor, his works present an ambiguous aspect. He includes mystic speculations, and his work attempts to coincide with his religious beliefs. [edit] Works
