The second edition of Fracastoro`s classic work on the germ theory of infectious disease. Although his medical poem on syphilis is perhaps more widely known, the present work is a far more important contribution to science, establishes Fracastoro as one of the foremost scientists of all time, and earns him the title of founder of modern epidemiology. De contagione contains the first scientifically reasoned statement of the true nature of infection, contagion, and the germ theory of disease and is the foundation of all modern views on the nature of infectious diseases. The influence of Fracastoro`s ideas was evident during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the work of Francesco Redi, Giovanni Maria Lancisi, and Antonio Vallisnieri as they contributed to a greater understanding of the nature of infection. Fracastoro`s influence is also clearly reflected in the work of such modern scientists as Louis Pasteur, Joseph Lister, and Robert Koch as they broadened and furthered man`s knowledge of infectious diseases` (Heirs of Hippocrates 174); Durling 1636; G-M 2528; Norman 827; Osler 2652; Waller 3163; Wellcome 2393 - all citing 1546 first edition.
