Note: In 1588 a professorship of ‘“ Simples” was instituted at 
the University of Siena by Grand Duke Ferdinand, of Tuscany. 
The first professor was Adriano Moreschini (1588-1617). The 
seventh professor, Pietro Maria Gabrieli (1669-1705), formed 
about 1684 a herbarium of plants collected in the surrounding fields. 
The garden of simples was, in time, annexed to the Hospital of S. 
Maria della Scala. In 1756 the lectureship of simples was dis- 
continued, and three years later there was instituted a course of in- 
struction in Natural History, given by Giuseppe Baldassarri, physi- 
cian to the Monk superior of Monte Oliveto Maggiore. Baldas- 
sarri (1759-1782) had enriched the small Pharmaceutical Garden 
of that Monastery. Finally, in 1784, Pietro Leopold, Grand Duke 
of Tuscany, decided to establish at Siena a true botanic garden, 
and to transform for that purpose, the Orto dei Semplici annexed 
to the Hospital of S. Maria della Scala. Biagio Bartalini, who 
succeeded Baldassarri, became first ReCOr of the Orto Botanico, 
as above indicated.
