GALVANI, Luigi (1737-1798). Autograph document signed (“Aloysius Galvani”), Bologna, 17 March 1778. In Latin, two pages, 241 x 173mm, single sheet; with seal and affidavit of Luigi Alboresi, Notary of Bologna, dated 20 March 1780. A letter of recommendation for his student Giuseppe Trabbia, signed by Galvani. Galvani is considered the father of bioelectromechanics for his now iconic experiments on the postmortem reanimation of frog legs. In addition to his contributions to science, his discoveries helped to inspire one of the first science fiction novels, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In this letter recommending the qualities of a former student, he signs as member of the faculty at the Archiginnasio of Bologna, which housed the famous anatomical theater. At the bottom and back of the document is a 1780 affidavit from a notary, confirming Galvani’s signature.
