ANS:PAULAUS ZACCHIAS
Paul Zacchias(1584-1659) was a practical physician, teacher of medical science, medio-legal jurist, philosopher, and poet. His most well known book is Quaestiones medico-legales (written in 1557[1]). He is said to have occupied the position as personal physician for Pope Innocentius X. Zacchias was also an adviser for the Rota Romana, the highest Papal court of appeals Paul Zacchias is cited as being the father of Legal Medicine.
Zacchias was at the cutting edge of medical pursuit in his time, arguing that poison, infection, and disease were all transmittable through smell.
"We have a thousand and one examples of living beings that have been infected by olfaction alone ... We see many people every day who fall into a serious or very serious state because of good or bad odors."
Zacchias work also contains superstitious views on magic, witches, and demons which were widely held at the time. He is known to have argued that minors make proper test subjects to be put to torture.
Despite these consequences, Zacchias is seen to have radically progressed the works of jurisprudence in medicine of his time.
Quaestiones medico-legales
Quaestiones medico-legales is divided into three sections. The first section contains decisions of the Rota Romana during his time serving on it. The other two sections cover questions of human physiology. In it he examines problems such as the formation of hermaphrodites, and the animation of the foetus and Superfoetation.
