G&M Jules Germain Cloquet (1790-1883) was the younger brother of Hippolyte Cloquet (1787-1840) He initially' worked as an apprentice in the workshop of his father who was a draughtsman, and later as modeller of anatomical figures in the faculty of Paris He first studied the natural sciences in Rouen, but came to Paris in 1810 to devote himself to medicine. Already in the following year he became preparator of anatomy at the medical school, and become prosector at the faculty in 1815. In 1817 he was conferred doctor of medicine with a dissertation on abdominal hernias, of which he had sectioned some 300. Hernias remained an important element of his research. The same year he was awarded a prize from the Académie des Sciences for a treatise which was not published until six years later. In 1819 Cloquet competed successfully for the position as Chief of Surgery (Chirurgien en Chef) at Hôpital St. Louis. Besides his work on hernias, he is also credited with the first description of the central canal of the (the hyaloid canal). In 1821 he was elected one of the first members of the Academy of Medicine In 1824, again through competition, he was appointed professor Agrégé of Surgery. In 1831, once more through competition, he was appointed professor of surgical pathology at the Medical Faculty of Paris, in 1834 also of clinical surgery . He had to resign from all practical activities in 1841-1842 as his health no longer permitted him to continue working. However, in 1851 he was appointed Chirurgien Consultant to the emperor. In 1855 he became a member of the Academy of Sciences, and he was also a corresponding member of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. Cloquet commenced the publication of his famous work Anatomie de l'Homme in 1821. The complete work contains some 1300 illustrations, most of them made by Cloquet himself, and they took ten years to publish in extenso. Cloquet reformed theoretical education through the use of pictures and models as well as actual samples. His lectures were collected and published by Dominique-Jean Baron Larrey (1766-1842). Besides a large number of treatises on surgery and anatomy, Cloquet is credited with the invention of several surgical instruments, among them the artery forceps and a device for the removal of foreign bodies .-Ole Daniel Enersen The thesis was Cloquet's medical thesis, the second thesis (named on the second title page Recherches sur les Causes et LAnatomie des Hernies Abdominales.
