plants of the ancients in the land of the ancients”; which Meyer 
amends by adding “after the revival of learning,” remembering 
how Simon Januensis was making the same researches 300 years 
before. 
Anguillara’s botanical work under Ghini commenced in 1539, on 
his return to Italy, where he remained * at Ghini’s private botan- 
ical garden + at Bologna, till 1544 when he removed with him to 
Pisa { and so remained in 1545, forming for him a deep venera- 
tion; § Luca Ghini being the only other besides the Cretan 
Rodioto whom Anguillara always calls “ saestro.”’ 
Anguillara the Director of the Botanical Garden of Padua.— 
This next period of Anguillara’s life, 1545-1561, was that associ- 
ated with the botanical garden at Padua, for which the Venetian 
government made definite provision first in 1545, but which seems 
to have been already developing for some years under Buonafede, 
professor in the University of Padua, 1533-1 549. 
Buonafede or Buonafidius says Gaetano Monti (Lndices botan- 
ict et materiae medicae, Bologna, 1755) ‘established in 1545 a 
botanical garden amplum et splendidum, for the use of the 
University of Padua, Aloysius Anguillara Romanus, a disciple of 
Luca Ghini, being called to undertake its charge.’ The date of 
Anguillara’s assuming charge as “ Custos” of the garden is given 
as 1546 by Marsili, who says his directorship extended from 1546 
to 1551. Three or four distinct positions in connection then with 
this botanical garden seem to have coexisted at times ; first, that 
of professor of medicine, including materia medica, held by 
Buonafede 1533-1 549, who was succeeded by the celebrated 
anatomist Gabriele Fallopius, discover of the Fallopian tubes. 
Their professorship included the chair styled Lectura simplicium. 
Second, that of Ostensior simplicium ; its occupant styled Ostensor 
simplicium, being a demonstrator or docent in medical botany. 
* Anguillara’s Semplici, 36 and 120. 
t Ghini seems to have maintained this from 1 534 to 1544. 
{ Luca Ghini (see p, 328) accepting the call in 1544 to the University of Pisa, 
rden was at once begun there also and was formally established in 1547, with Ghini 
as director and also as the University professor of materia medica or ‘ Lector sim- 
plictum.”’

Wm. Turner, first English botanist, then a religious exile, was also a listener of 
Ghini, fide Pulteney, who links together Anguillara, Cesalpino and Turner as Ghini’s 
chief pupils.
