Roland of Parma, [a] also called Rolando Capelluti, [b] was an early 13th-century surgeon. He studied under Roger Frugardi in Parma and wrote a commentary on his teacher's Practica chirurgiae (Practice of Surgery) around 1230. His commentary, known as the Rolandina, became the standard surgical textbook in the West for the next three centuries. [3] [1] He later taught in Bologna. [1]
