| In the second half of the sixteenth century, the knowledge on a small part of the female body mushroomed: the clitoris. Early modern European anatomists rediscovered the organ andincluded it in their textbooks and anatomical volumes attributing to it various notions,concepts and meanings. As the discourse on the clitoris moved from Italy and France viaBasel to the Northern centres of anatomy in the seventeenth century, the publications of theBasel anatomist Caspar Bauhin (1560–1624) played a key role in the dissemination andsystematisation of this knowledge. Bauhin collected the complex early modern knowledge onthe clitoris and presented it in his encyclopaedic work “Theatrum anatomicum“. Here, heassembled a broad range of ideas and notions related to the organ, and organised it, forexample by revaluating and emphasising the function of the organ, which he deemednecessary for procreation. The article explains the local context of Bauhin’s knowledgeformation in Basel around 1600 as well as the role of his writings within the broaderEuropean discourse. | |
