  Jean Fernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean François Fernel (in Latin, Fernelius) (1497?–Fontainebleau 1558) was a French physician who introduced the term "physiology" to describe the study of the body's function.
In the 1500s, Fernel suggested that fat could trigger human taste buds, but scientists rejected the idea until a recent study (carried out by Purdue University in 2001) proved it plausible.
He born at Clermont, and after receiving his early education at his native town, entered the college of Sainte-Barbe, Paris.

Quoting from the book authored by Charles Augustus Fernald, "The Ancient Fernald Families", privately published in 1909, "Jean Fernel was the son of Charles VIII, of the House of Valois, King of France and Anne, Duchess of Brittany.
Right after the birth of Jean, his mother smuggled him out of the palace with the help of her maid Marietta Faerno, and replaced him with a dead child.
Charles Augustus Fernald never proved the parentage of Jean Fernel to Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany, nor did he have any documentation to back-up his findings for the relationship to several other famous people to whom he claimed the Fernalds were related.

Fernel himself took that view, describing how the expansion of the brain must raise the gland and free the passage, and the shrinking of the brain must allow the glandular valve to drop into place again and block the tunnel.
Jean Cousin merely gave a summary of the ideas which Descartes had communicated to him, Van Diemerbroeck described the debate which took place after Descartes' views had been published, and both Costa ben Luca and Fernel were not referring to the pineal gland but to the vermis of the cerebellum.

Fernel did not regard the pineal gland as a valve which opens and closes the canal between the third and fourth ventricles: he ascribed this function to the vermis.

 The Man
Vesalius’ Latin is a tribute to his teachers, although its variations, its periodic structure, and its orotundity are not always to the taste of modern readers, accustomed to a more straightforward manner of expression.
Throughout the medical faculty, from the lecturer in surgery, Jean Tagault, to its Dean, Jean Vasses, scholars were eagerly translating, commenting upon, and putting to wider use the newly rediscovered riches of the Ancients.
Some Parisians, like Jean Fernel, sought a new synthesis that would develop insights provided by the Greeks, but others, notably the two Faculty members who most influenced Vesalius, Jean Dubois (Sylvius) and Johann Guinther von Andernach, were heavily involved in the actual production and dissemination of translations of works unknown for centuries.

 CDC - Emerging Issues in Infective Endocarditis
Knowledge about the origins of endocarditis stems from the work of Fernel in the early 1500s, and yet this infection still presents physicians with major diagnostic and management dilemmas.
In 1885, Sir William Osler presented three Gulstonian Lectures on the topic of malignant endocarditis, which gave a comprehensive account of the disease and outlined the difficulties in its diagnosis (2).
This decline in the incidence of rheumatic fever has not been mirrored by a pro rata decrease in the incidence of infective endocarditis, which suggests that additional etiologic factors are becoming more important in acquiring endocarditis.

The volume of theological tracts, again recast, was declined by two Bas~i publishers, Jean Frellon (at Calvins instance) and Marrinus, but an edition Beza incorrectly makes Servetus the challenger, and the date 1534.

It was the time of such historically great names as Albertus Magnus, Arnold of Villanova, Erasmus, Luther, Jean Fernel, Montaigne, Frascatorius, Shakespeare, and the great anatomists of the school in Padua.
Eventually the State joined the Church in the witch hunts and executions, and even such a brilliant intellectual as the jurist Jean Bodin (1530-1596) was a confirmed believer in the presence of witches.
