Italian anatomist (1682–1771) celebrated as the father of modern anatomical pathology. ALS in Italian, signed “G. B. Morgagni,” one page, 8 x 5.5, September 26, 1739. Letter to an associate. In full (translated): “I have carefully read and reread the enclosed papers with the intention of availing myself of the liberty you gave me so generously to modify it. But in truth I have only found matter to praise and if any word have I changed I did it because I wanted to obey your clear meaning. Please use it as you wish. Had I had the opportunity of seeing you yesterday I would have asked what opinion did Calemi give you on what was said in the printed Acts of Leipzig. But I believe you did right in such circumstance to follow the advice of Mr. Mezzanino and from what I can gather I thank God for having prevented you from being exposed. Please take good care of yourself and you will greatly oblige your very humble servant and cordial friend and colleague.” Central vertical fold, small pencil notation to top left, and scattered toning and foxing, otherwise fine condition.
