Authority / Notes
1802
According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, p.25, this Society was founded in 1802 by two physicians, Gaetano Gandolfi and Matteo Venturoli. Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, p.25 refers to this Society as the Accademia Medica; but Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, p.33 refers to it as the Società Medica, which is more likely correct, since that it how it appears in the name of its 1807 publication.

Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, p.25 indicates that in 1807 it published the first volume of its Memorie. According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, pp.25-26, material for a second volume was ready, and would have been published if the French governor had not ordered the formation of the Ateneo Bolognese through the merger of several existing Bolognese bodies, including the Società Medica. It appears (Maylender (1926-1930), v.7, p.26), however, that the Ateneo Bolognese never actually came into existence, and in 1812 even the record of its symbolic foundation was erased. According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.7, p.26, the Society was revived in 1823 with the designation Medico-chirurgica.

According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.7, p.33. the Società Medica, which had been shut down in 1812 through the desire of the French governor to centralize the Bolognese academies and societies into the projected Ateneo, was replaced in 1823 by another society entitled Medico-Chirurgica.

There are records in the SBN Italian Union cat. for publications as late as 1892 (Inibizione del vomito...) and 1899 (Ancora sulla patogenesi e significato semeiologico...) in which the author statement gives Societa medico-chirurgica di Bologna.

But there is a record in the SBN Italian Union cat. for a publication as early as 1897 (Osservazioni e ricerche relative al valore patogenetico...) in which the author statement gives societa medica-chirurgica di Bologna.

It is not absolutely clear when the change occurred (likely the mid- to late 1890s), but Società Medica Chirurgica di Bologna is the name currentlly used at its website.
