Possible link to Giovanni Battista Morgagni's items on “Himetop – The History of medicine topographical database”[edit]

I suggest that somebody, interested in this page, could insert an external link to the following page describing, with pictures, some Giovanni Battista Morgagni’s memories: http://himetop.wikidot.com/giovanni-battista-morgagni

I don’t do it myself because I’m also an Administrator of this site (Himetop) and it could be a violation of the Wikipedia Conflict of Interest policy. Thanks for your attention.

Humour[edit]

The range of Morgagni's scholarship, as evidenced by his references to early and contemporary literature, is astonishing. It has been contended that he was himself not free from prolixity, the besetting sin of the learned; and certainly the form and arrangement of his treatise are such as to make it difficult to use in the present day, notwithstanding that it is well indexed in the original edition, in that of Tissot (3 vols., 4to, Yverdun, 1779), and in more recent editions. It differs from modern treatises insofar as the symptoms determine the order and manner of presenting the anatomical facts.

This passage has been in the article since the beginning, apparently quoted from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica. It seems somewhat out of place in a Wikipedia article, though. if nothing else, the “it has been contended” bit needs a {{weasel words}} tag, does it not? :-) -Ahruman (talk) 12:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Style Edits[edit]

I'm somewhat new to the world of wikipedia, but I feel that this article could use some edits in the area of style. It seems like there's a fair amount of opinion or sort of flowery language which seems like it might not have an appropriate source. Please let me know if I do something egregiously wrong with this article. Mgood13 (talk) 01:38, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
