This paper aims to draw attention on a commentary written by the famous Antonio Musa Brasavola upon the Galenic Commentary on Regimen in Acute Diseases. Published in 1546 by this disciple of Leoniceno and Manardi, this work is a very brilliant illustration of the Ferrara’s medical Hellenism. Returning to Galenic and Hippocratic Greek texts, Brasavola shows a huge classical scholarship in his interpretation. But surprisingly for a follower of the Hellenists, Brasavola mentions also many Arabic writers to make them converse with Greek authorities. Confronting the medical tradition of the past with his own experience as a practitioner, Brasavola seems to cast doubt on some aspects of the Greek regimen in acute diseases, opening the way to significant changes in the theories of digestion and fever.

Between 1800 and 1936, there were three generations of science teachers at the Ursuline boarding school in Quebec City. The first instructors (1800–1844), three of whom came from the United States, used a female educational model that included the sciences. The succeeding generation of teachers (1844–1903), all natives of Quebec, deployed a series of experiments and activities aimed at making the elusive sensible. The “maîtresses de la continuité” (1903–1936), for their part, maintained a scientific education distinct from household teaching. At a time when women’s access to knowledge was restricted, these three generations of educators believed in the relevance of offering their pupils science education.
