[Gaspard II Bartholin and the vulvovaginal gland].
Born in 1655 in Copenhagen to a renowned family, Gaspard Bartholin had the good fortune during his stay in Paris to meet Joseph Guichard du Verney, a French anatomist who had discovered the glandula vestibuloris major. Back in Copenhagen he was appointed professor of anatomy at the age of 21 described the physiology of the glandula vestibuloris major, later known as Batholin's gland. Ennobled, laden with honours, he was later appointed personal physician to the king of Denmark until his death in 1738.
