Liceti then used this theory to explain the inheritance of acquired characteristics, genetic abnormalities and interspecies hybrids.

Liceti used this stone as analogy for the moon, believing that the moon released light absorbed by the sun, contrary to Galileo's argument in Sidereus Nuncius that the moon's illumination is caused by the reflection of sunlight from the earth.

Here, Liceti described and classified a variety of developmental abnormalities and, for the first time, classified these based on their morphology, not their cause.

Liceti did, however, provide explanations for these abnormalities, including the narrowness of the uterus, problems with the placenta, and the adhesion of the amniotic fluid with the embryo.

The seventh volume deals primarily with a theological controversy Liceti engaged in with Matteo Ferchio.

Liceti sent a copy of his book to Galileo, who, in response, wrote a polemical letter to Prince Leopoldo de ' Medici of Tuscany defending his views ; this letter is the last scientific work produced by Galileo before his death.

Much early embryology came from the work of the great Italian anatomists: Aldrovandi, Aranzio, Leonardo da Vinci, Marcello Malpighi, Gabriele Falloppio, Girolamo Cardano, Emilio Parisano, Fortunio Liceti, Stefano Lorenzini, Spallanzani, Enrico Sertoli, Mauro Rusconi, etc.

The crater is named after Fortunio Liceti, a 17th century Italian philosopher and physicist.

Fortunio Liceti ( Latin: Fortunius Licetus ; October 3, 1577 – May 17, 1657 ), was an Italian doctor, philosopher, and scientist.

He was born prematurely at Rapallo, near Genoa to Giuseppe Liceti and Maria Fini, while the family was moving from Recco.

In October of 1599, Giuseppe Liceti fell fatally ill and Fortunio returned to Genoa, where Giuseppe was now practicing medicine.

On March 23, 1600, Liceti received his doctorate in philosophy and medicine.

On November 5 of that year, Liceti took a position as lecturer of logic at the University of Pisa and in 1605, he was awarded a chair in philosophy.

Liceti was elected to the Accademia del Ricovrati in 1619 and held several offices within the group.

He was denied promotion when senior colleagues died in both 1631 and 1637, so Liceti moved to the University of Bologna from 1637 to 1645, where he taught philosophy.

Throughout his life, Liceti remained committed philosophically to an Aristotelian viewpoint, although some recent scholars, such as Giuseppe Ongaro, have suggested he was not a rigid dogmatist.

Liceti died on May 17, 1657 and was buried in the church of Sant ' Agostino in Padua.

The church was later demolished but his grave marker, inscribed with an epitaph composed by Liceti himself, was saved and is now housed in the city's Civic Museum.

Liceti and Galileo Galilei were colleagues at the University of Padua for nearly a year and, in fact, when Liceti began working there, Galileo assisted him by loaning him a sum of money.

His prodigious output once caused mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri to write to Galileo Galilei that Liceti “ makes a book a week (' esso fa un libro in una settimana ').” At the end of Liceti's 1653 work Hieroglyphica, he included a list of his compositions to that point.

Liceti's philosophical works mainly deal with natural philosophy, which he preferred to call “ physiology .” In De animarum rationalium immortalitate libri quatuor, Aristotelis opinionem diligenter explicantes, published in 1629, Liceti expounded the opinions of Aristotle regarding the immortality of the soul.

Liceti was thus the first to recognize that fetal diseases could lead to the malformation of offspring.

Liceti dealt with the question of spontaneous generation in his 1628 work De spontaneo viventium ortu libri quatuor, in which he argued that life could be generated from decomposing plant or animal material in which part of the vegetative or sensitive soul remained.

Liceti published a collection of examples of long-term fasting in 1612, De his, qui diu vivunt sine alimento.

His intention was to argue that humans could live a long time with little or no food ; this thesis was attacked by critics ( in particular the Portuguese doctor and professor at Pisa, S. Rodriguez de Castro ) and so Liceti published two responses, De feriis altricis animaenemeseticae disputationes in 1631 and Athos perfossus, sive Rudens eruditus in 1636.

Liceti complained that the letter was circulated before he had seen it so Galileo sent a friendlier version of the letter to Liceti, who published it along with his point-by-point response in 1642 as De Lunae subobscura luce prope coniunctiones, et in eclipsibus observata.

The two remained friends after Galileo left Padua and from the period of October 22, 1610 to July 20, 1641, thirty-three letters from Liceti to Galileo survive, along with twelve from Galileo to Liceti ( which would have been lost had Liceti not inserted them into his own published works ).

In his astronomical works, Liceti attempted to defend Aristotelian cosmology and geocentrism against the new ideas of heliocentrism proposed by Galileo and his followers.

Liceti was also involved in a friendlier astronomical debate with Galileo between 1640 and 1642 ..

In 1777, Marquis Carlo Spinelli erected a marble statue of Liceti in Padua on Prato della Valle sculpted by Francesco Rizzi.

There his teachers included Giovanni Costeo and Federico Pendasio, two men whom Liceti respected so much he later named his first son in their honor ( Giovanni Federico Liceti ).

With the appearance of the famous comets of 1618 ( which later gave rise to Galileo's work The Assayer ), Liceti published a series of works arguing the Aristotelian view that comets occurred in the sphere of the upper heaves.

In 1640, Liceti published Litheosphorus, sive De lapide Bononiensi lucem in se conceptam ab ambiente claro mox in tenebris mire conservante, a work which examined the so-called “ light-bearing stone of Bologna .” This stone was a type of barite originating in Mount Paderno near Bologna.

In 1640 and 1641, respectively, Liceti published two more general works on light and illumination, De luminis natura et efficentia libri tres and De lucidis in sublimi ingenuarum exercitationum liber.

Between 1640 and 1650, Liceti published a series of seven books in which he answered questions on a variety of topics posed through letters by some of the most famous intellectuals of the day: De quaesitis per epistolas a claris viris responsa ( 1640 ), De secundo-quaesitis per epistolas a claris viris responsa ( 1646 ), De tertio-quaesitis per epistolas a claris viris responsa ( 1646 ), De motu sanguinis, origine nervorum, de quarto-quaesitis per epistolas a claris viris responsa medico-philosophica ( 1647 ), De providentia, nimbiferi gripho, de quinto-quaesitis per epistolas a claris viris responsa ( 1648 ), De sexto-quaesitis per epistolas a claris viris responsa ( 1648 ), and De septimo-quaesitis, creatione Filii Dei ad intra, theologice denuo controversa per epistolas a claris viris responsa ( 1650 ).

Liceti wrote three books on ancient gems, rings, and their hidden meaning: De anulis antiquis ( 1645 ), De lucernis antiquorum reconditis ( 1625, reprinted with more illustrations in 1652 and 1662 ), and Hieroglyphica, sive Antiqua schemata gemmarum anularium ( 1653 ).
