– George Washington, letter to the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, January 1793; "The writings of George Washington," Jared Sparks, editor, Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York (1848) Vol. XII, p. 201

To enlarge the sphere of social happiness is worthy of the benevolent design of a Masonic institution; and it is most fervently to be wished, that the conduct of every member of the fraternity, as well as those publications, that discover the principles which actuate them, may tend to convince mankind that the grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race." – George Washington, letter to the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, January 1793; "The writings of George Washington," Jared Sparks, editor, Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York (1848) Vol. XII, p. 201

George Washington, letter to Colonel Benedict Arnold, Camp at Cambridge, September 14, 1775

"I also give it in Charge to you to avoid all Disrespect to or Contempt of the Religion of the Country and its Ceremonies. Prudence, Policy, and a true Christian Spirit, will lead us to look with Compassion upon their Errors without insulti...ng them. While we are contending for our own liberty, we should be very cautious not to violate the rights of conscience in others, ever considering that God alone is the judge of the hearts of men, and to him only in this case they are answerable." – George Washington, letter to Colonel Benedict Arnold, Camp at Cambridge, September 14, 1775; "The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources, 1745—1799," edited by John C. Fitzpatrick, 39 vols. Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office (1931-44) Vol. 3, p. 492

TROTULA DE RUGGIERO, Magistra Medicinae of Salerno School.

TROTULA DE RUGGIERO,  SANDJARS (minitiatura con la sabbia) del Maestro Orlando Adinolfi che sarà esposta al Museo ROBERTO PAPI.

Trotula is believed to have lived between the 11th and 12th centuries CE in the southern Italian port town of Salerno, at that time widely reputed as a center of medical learning.^[5] Salerno was at the time “the most important center for the introduction of Arabic medicine into Western Europe”. 

Salerno favored the development of what would become the three most important specialized texts on women's medicine in medieval western Europe". In referring to the School of Salerno in the twelfth century, historians actually mean an informal community of masters and pupils who, over the course of the twelfth century, developed more or less formal methods of instruction and investigation; there is no evidence of any physical or legal entity before the thirteenth century. 

She may have belonged to the wealthy di Ruggiero family and may have been married to the physician Johannes Platearius and had two sons, Johannes Platearius II and Matthaeus Platearius. Again, very few concrete facts are known about her life. Some scholars believe that both Trotula and her husband authored practica brevis, a work that discusses medical diseases.

Trotula is alleged to have written a major work on women’s medicine in medieval Europe, On the Diseases of Women (De passionibus mulierum).

She is also alleged to have been the first female professor of medicine and the first female gynecologist. Some scholars assert that Trotula taught at the School of Salerno, earning the title of Magistra Medicinae.     The plethora of evidence that numerous women graduated from the School of Salerno since its inception validates the fact that Trotula herself attended the institution.
