CODRONCHI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA. - Italian physician, b. at Imola in 1547, d. in 1628. He studied at the University of Bologna and practiced in his native town, where he held very important offices. Left a widower in 1618, he entered the priesthood, following the impulse of the mystical ideas he had always cultivated. A friend of and in contact with the leading physicians of his time, he cultivated medicine in all its branches, excelling however in forensic medicine, a discipline in which he must be considered a pioneer together with Ingrassia and Fedele, and in deontology, medical morals and ethics. He was also a pioneer in laryngology, having written a De vitiis vocis (Frankfurt 1597).
His principal works are: in forensic medicine, the De morbis veneficis ac veneficis, etc. (Venice 1595) and the Methodus testificandi (1597); in deontology and medical ethics, the De christiana ac tuta medendi ratione, etc. (Ferrara 1591), in which he bases the physician's conduct on the strictest observance of Christian morality. This same work had previously been written by him in Italian, under the title Casi di coscienza pertinenti a medici, principalmente e anco a infermi, infermieri, e sani, etc., and published at Venice in 1589 in Viaggi spirituali dell'uomo, etc., by d. Tiberio Codronco.
