Roland of Parma,[a] also called Rolando Capelluti,[b] was an early 13th-century surgeon. He studied under Roger Frugardi in Parma and wrote a commentary on his teacher's Practica chirurgiae (Practice of Surgery) around 1230. His commentary, known as the Rolandina, became the standard surgical textbook in the West for the next three centuries.[3][1] He later taught in Bologna.[1]
