Johannes Baptista Montanus (1498 – May 6, 1551) is the Latinized name of Giovanni Battista Monte, or Gian Battista da Monte, one of the leading humanist physicians of Italy. Montanus promoted the revival of Greek medical texts and practice, producing revisions of Galen as well as of Islamic-influenced medical texts by Rhazes and Avicenna. He was himself a medical writer and was regarded as a second Galen. Montanus was born in Verona, and became a friend of the pioneering anatomist Andreas Vesalius.〔Burgersdijk & Niermans Auction catalogue, number 318, lot 1445, (online ) and (archived. )〕 He introduced autopsies as a means of acquiring anatomical data, and established the first permanent anatomical theatre, where Vesalius, Gabriele Falloppio, Hieronymus Fabricius and others carried out studies. Montanus became a professor of practical medicine at Ferrara and at the University of Padua in 1539. His greatest innovation was to introduce clinical medicine into the curriculum as a way to integrate medical theory and practice.〔Paul F. Grendler, ''The Universities of the Italian Renaissance'' (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004), pp. 341–342 (online. )〕 His students included John Caius, one of the most eminent physicians of the 16th century and a court physician of Edward VI,〔Elizabeth Lane Furdell, ''The Royal Doctors, 1485–1714: Medical Personnel at the Tudor and Stuart Courts'' (Boydell & Brewer, 2001), pp. 45–46 (online. )〕 and Valentinus Lublinus.〔(Des Propstes heilkundlicher Schatz )〕 Lublinus was one of several former students who drew attention to their teacher's method by publishing his lectures and notes after his death. The new field of clinical medicine then began to attract students from northern Europe.〔Paul F. Grendler, ''The Universities of the Italian Renaissance'' (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004), p. 342.〕 In 1545, he helped establish the first botanical garden in Padua.〔(Botanischer Garten. )〕 He died in Padua. ==Selected works== *''De excrementis''. *''De uterinis affectibus''. 1556. *''In nonum librum Rhasis ad R() Almansorem lectiones restitutae a Ioanne Cratone''.
