| Abstract: | In the Wellcome Institute of the History of Medicine in London, there is an old microscope which once belonged to Prospero Lambertini, later Pope Benedict XIV. Born in Bologna in 1675, he became a priest and a canon lawyer, worked in Rome as advisor to various Congregations and Popes and as a member of the Congregation of Rites, was made Bishop of Ancona, and later Cardinal Archbishop of his native city from where he was unexpectedly elected Pope in 1740. |
