Mercuriade (14th century) was an Italian physician, surgeon and medical author. She is one of the few woman physicians known from the Middle Ages. [1] [2] [3]
Mercuriade trained in medicine at the University of Salerno, as one of a very small number of female students. [4] [5] She was the author of the treaties De Febre Pestilenti (on Crisis in Pestilent Fever), De Curatio (The Cure of Wounds) and De Ungentis (on Ungentis). [1] Her work was included in the Collectio Salernitana. [6]
She is considered one of the " ladies of Salerno" along with Abella, Rebecca Guarna, and Francesca de Romana who attended the medical school in Salerno from its beginning and helped usher in a "medical renaissance" in Europe. [7]
