In 1559, Matteo Realdo Colombo, a lecturer in surgery at the University of Padua, published a book called "De re anatomica" in which, writing about the "seat of woman's delight," he named the clitoris "the love of Venus" or Amor Veneris, calling it "pretty and useful." Colombo was the first to use the term "labia," "vagina" and "rugae" (the soft inner folds of the vagina). His claim of being the first to discover the clitoris and its function, at least as an anatomist, was disputed by another Paduan, Gabriel Fallopius (yes, the Fallopian tubes are named after this guy). All this wrangling over the little ol' clitoris :) Anyway, in the 17th century, a Danish anatomist by the name of Kasper Bartholin came forward arguing that the clitoris was widely known since the second century. Perhaps by Claudius Galen, the court physician of Marcus Aurelius?
