Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799) Italian biologist. He worked on bacteria (disproved spontaneous generation), digestion (first to use term gastric juice), respiration (proved tissues use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide). Pioneer of Vulcanology. From Vies Des Savants: Illustres du XVIIIe Siecle by Louis Figuier. (Paris, 1874). Wood engraving

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Italian biologist, Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799), who made groundbreaking contributions to various scientific fields. Known for his meticulous research and innovative experiments, Spallanzani played a crucial role in disproving spontaneous generation by studying bacteria. His work paved the way for our understanding of how life forms reproduce. In addition to his investigations on bacteria, Spallanzani delved into digestion and became the first scientist to use the term "gastric juice". He also explored respiration, providing evidence that tissues utilize oxygen and release carbon dioxide—a significant breakthrough in our comprehension of cellular processes. Beyond these achievements, Spallanzani's pioneering spirit extended even further. He ventured into vulcanology—the study of volcanoes—and left an indelible mark as one of its pioneers. This remarkable wood engraving from 1874 is part of Louis Figuier's esteemed publication "Vies Des Savants: Illustres du XVIIIe Siecle" which pays homage to influential scientists. The image captures Spallanzani's dedication and passion for knowledge as he conducted vivisection—an essential technique in biological research during that era. It serves as a reminder of his invaluable contributions to science and highlights his profound impact on multiple disciplines
