The library of the Vereniging Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Dutch Journal of Medicine Association) is a treasure-trove of information for those who wish to study the roots of the identity of the modern doctor. Recently, a book published in 1761 was purchased: De sedibus, et causis morborum per anatomen indagatis was written by Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771) when he was almost eighty years old. This book, in which Morgagni recorded the findings of 700 autopsies and linked them to the complaints of the patients and the symptoms of their diseases, marked the advent of anatomic pathology as a separate medical discipline.
