The work was completed in Morgagni's 79th year and consists of a series of 70 letters reporting about 700 cases and necropsies. As best as he could, he correlated the clinical record with the post- mortem finding. Morgagni gave the first descriptions of several pathological conditions. He was Professor of Anatomy at Padua."
