Bernardino Ramazzini (4 October 1633 to 5 November 1714) was an Italian physician who has been considered a founder of occupational medicine. His book on occupational diseases, De Morbis Artificum Diatriba, usually rendered as Diseases of Workers, was published in 1700 and is the work for which he is best remembered. Ramazzini was also, together with Francesco Torti, an early proponent of the use of cinchona bark, the source of quinine, in the treatment of malaria. This entry rests on the opening of his Wikipedia article, which states these two contributions along with his dates and nationality, and it gives no further detail of his career.
