Encyclopedia > Caspar Bartholin the Younger

Caspar Bartholin the Younger (1655-1738), grandson of theologian and anatomist Caspar Bartholin the Elder, was a Danish anatomist who first described the "Bartholin's gland" in the 17th century.


The discovery is sometimes mistakenly credited to his grandfather, Bartholin the Elder.


In about 1696, Jacob Winslow was Bartholin's prosector.
