[Dissections places and mortuaries in Paris from 1200 to 1980].

Before French Revolution of 1789, Church and University forbid dissections for clerks and Doctors. The first, old Faculty in Bûcherie street had three amphitheatres in 1608 (Jabot), 1617 (Riolan), 1744 (Winslow). Two men taught anatomy, a latin speaking professor and a operating barber-surgeon. To learn anatomy, surgeons students had to hide for dissections in Hôtel-Dieu, masters' houses, or had to steal corpses. The better learning place was the Surgery's College 1515, at 5 medical school street, where two successive amphitheatres were built in 1615 (Pineau) and 1691, and finally at the Royal Surgical Academy at the 12 of the same street. French kings, in order to avoid the Church and University's bad power, created also in 1529 the French College and King's garden in 1673 with Dionis. The chiefly problem was the lack of corpses.
