However, one of the witnesses at trial showed that, in the opinion of many people, Jacob Felicia "more versed in medicine, especially in surgery, than the best Parisian doctors". In the sixties at the University of Bologna taught Novella d'andrea. She was so beautiful, that came to the lecture wearing a hat with a veil, so as not to disturb students.
