Roland of Parma

Roland of Parma,[lower-alpha 1] also called Rolando Capelluti,[lower-alpha 2] was an early 13th-century surgeon. He studied under Roger Frugardi in Parma and wrote a commentary on his teacher's Practica chirurgiae (Practice of Surgery) around 1230. His commentary, known as the Rolandina, became the standard surgical textbook in the West for the next three centuries.[3][1] He later taught in Bologna.[1]

For the cleric who took part in the Investiture Controversy, see Roland (bishop of Treviso). For the 14th-century lord of Parma, see Rolando de' Rossi.
Hippocrates depicted practising various medical techniques from a copy of the Rolandina.
