Morgagni, Baillie, and Rokitansky were three giants in pathology. They established the foundations for classification of diseases. Their combined contributions to clinical knowledge outweighed all that had been learned in medicine in the prior history of the human race. It is remarkable that their achievements were made without using microscopy.
