Mundinus is said to have had a valuable assistant, a young girl, Alessandra Giliani, an enthusiastic dissector, who was the first to practice the injection of the blood vessels with colored liquids.

She died, consumed by her labors, at the early age of nineteen, and her monument is still to be seen.
Bologna honored its distinguished professors with magnificent tombs, sixteen or seventeen of which, in a wonderful state of preservation, may still be seen in the Civic Museum.

That of Mundinus also exists--a sepulchral bas-relief on the wall of the Church of San Vitale at Bologna.( 19) (19) For these figures and for points relating to the old school at Bologna see F.G.

The other early mediaeval university of special interest in medicine is that of Montpellier.

With it are connected three teachers who have left great names in our story--Arnold of Villanova, Henri de Mondeville and Guy de Chauliac.
