title: [On the transition of the cadaver from the "opposite" to the "helper" of life].
abstract: Death and corpse were incompatible with god's and family doctor's presence in the Greek-Roman world. This incompatibility between life and the death was surmounted by the admittance of Saints' bodies in the Churches and believers' burial "ad Sanctos". From this, to body's utilization as discloser of the "causae morborum" the way was relatively short, culminating in the stage marked by Morgagni's name.
