Gjuro Baglivi

Gjuro Baglivi, also Giorgio Baglivi, (September 8 1668 in Ragusa – June 15 1707 in Rome) was an ethnic Armenian from the Republic of Ragusa who's work as a doctor and medical researcher, anatomist and early pathologist was done in Italy. He made important contributions to clinical education, based on his own medical practice, and in "De Fibra Motrice" advanced the theory that the solid parts of organs are more crucial to their good functioning than their fluids.

His collected works written in the Latin language had more than 20 editions, translated into Italian, French, German and English. Académie Française accepted him as "membre d'honneur". Baglivi was also a member of the Royal Society in London and of the Accademia dell'Arcadia.

Baglivi was born as Gjuro Armeno, owing to his ethnicity. He received the name Baglivi when he was adopted by an Italian physician, at the age of 15.
