This work is regarded as the "foundation of modern pathological anatomy ... [it] reports in precise and exhaustive detail his [Morgagni's] findings in nearly seven hundred autopsy dissections, introducing and insisting on the concept that diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease must be based on exact understanding of the pathologic changes in the anatomic structure. It put the final rout to the old humoral pathology." (Heirs)
