Rodrigues published 700 case histories in series of 100 each between 1551 and 1561, "which established his reputation as a thorough researcher in various fields, including anatomy, internal medicine, dermatology, and mental illness. The centuriae are also a mine of information on 16th century medical history, social life, and individual biography." (EJ). The present volume reprints the first 2 series, which originally appeared in Florence and Venice in 1551-52.
