Riolan cited by Morgagni

ID: riolan-cited-by-morgagni

The physician named only as Riolanus in the Oxford extract from The Seats and Causes of Diseases Investigated by Anatomy by Giovanni Battista Morgagni, cited for duodenal compression. The extract alone does not distinguish the elder from the younger Riolan. A portrait and exact Wikipedia article for the younger were verified as candidates, without assigning them to this uncertain reference.
