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]
