The Wallraf-Richartz Museum is one of the three major museums in Cologne, Germany. It houses an art gallery
with a collection of fine art from the medieval period to the early 20 th century. Part of its collection was used for
the establishment of the Museum Ludwig in 1976.
The print collection at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum encompasses German drawings of the 15 th and 16 th
centuries and is internationally a collection of high importance. It includes: 1) early German drawings until
1500; 2) the drawings of Albrecht Dürer, his contemporaries and successors, including Hans Schaufelein,
Erhard Schön and Bartholomew Bruyn the Elder; 3) German drawings until 1600. The stylistic originality seen
in the works of Hans von Aachen, Johann Caspar and Freisinger Rottenhammer show the European point of
reference in German art around 1600.

B3.1.8 Azienda U.S.L. Roma “E”- Biblioteca Lancisiana, Rome Italy (BL)
Role: content provider
The Lancisiana Library was founded in the years 1711-1714 by Giovanni Maria Lancisi. Housed in the Hospital
Santo Spirito in Saxia in Rome, its very structure and organization mirrors the scientific and medical culture of
its founder. Lancisi meant to offer to the young apprentice, either physician or surgeon, the means for a rational
medical education, based on "plenty of patients" and a good choice of books. The comparison between the
Library and some of Lancisi's works show his ideas about the relationship between the sciences - chemistry,
natural history, mathematics and mechanics - and medicine, as well as the close relationship between medicine
and surgery.
The Library in the Palazzo del Commendatore Lancisiana is considered one of the most important collections of
historical medical writings in general. This library is established on 21 May 1714, when, after three years of
preparation by the personal physician of the Pope, Giovanni Maria Lancisi. On 25 April the following year was
founded on the same site the Accademia di Medicina e Chirurgia. Here after the library changed quickly in an
famous research center, particularly in therapy of malaria -one of the most treatment of this time in Italy. Today
the library includes prominent donations from Louis XIV, Cosimo III de 'Medici and Furstenberg. Special
treasures are two of the Avicenna manuscripts.
