Adelmota of Carrara
Adelmota of Carrara (fl. 1318–1324) (also known as Adelmota Maltraverse)[1] was an Italian physician and obstetrician from Padua. The daughter of the Count of Castelnuovo, she married James, Prince of Carrara.[2][3][4]
Little is known about Adelmota except the notes by the writer Joannes Rhodius (1587–1659)[5] (a Danish scholar who lived in Padua in the 17th century) who stated in his book Scribonius Largus that Adelmota was "a most learned physician" and especially skilled as an obstetrician.[2][3][6]
According to Baudouin, she practiced medicine between 1318–1324.[3]
