Descrição: The Italian anatomist Gabriele Falloppia advocated an equally scanty prophylactic made of linen as a barrier against the disease and in 1564 claimed: "I tried the experiment on eleven hundred men, and I call immortal God to witness that not one of them was infected." Because the eponymous Fallopian tubes had already been named, his invention remained nameless. The earliest surviving examples of condoms, made from mammal and fish intestines and dating back to 1646, were recently discovered in a latrine at Dudley Castle, England, where they had probably been flung by fleeing Royalist troops making a hasty exit.
