Gaspard Laurent Bayle
(1774-1816)
Bayle is remembered for his extensive work in pathological
anatomy, making contributions in research of cancer and
tuberculosis. As the result of 900 post-mortem investigations,
he described six different types of tuberculosis — ulcerous
phthisis, calculous phthisis, cancerous phthisis, tubercular
phthisis, glandular phthisis and phthisis with melanosis.
His best known written effort was the 1810 Recherches sur la phthisie pulmonaire (Research
of pulmonary tuberculosis). He also penned a treatise on cancerous diseases that was
published posthumously (1833) by his nephew, Antoine Laurent Bayle.

Clinician Hospital of Charity
Gaspard Laurent Bayle was born in 1774 in Vernet in Provence. French clinician and
pathologist he was interested in tuberculosis and thereby to cancer. Considered to be adjacent
to each other. This is one of the most important doctors of his time, collaborator of
Dupuytren, professor of Laennec and Chomel.
Bayle distinguished within scirrhus, benign and malignant tumors. He believes that cancer is
a systemic disease that is neither contagious nor hereditary. Through multiple testing and
multiple autopsies, it shows the diffusion phenomenon at the origin of metastases.

He wrote a Treaty of cancerous diseases which is published posthumously by his nephew,
Antoine Laurent Bayle in 1833. He also wrote a book called pulmonary consumption on
Research published in 1810.
Gaspard Laurent Bayle greatly contributed to the progress of anatomy pathology. He held the
post of medical officer of the Hospital of Charity. This hospital founded in 1606 by the will
of Marie de Medici. She brought in France the Brothers of St. John of God. They receive the
abbot of Saint Germain des Prés the use of the former small chapel Holy Father.
In 1613, they begin the construction of important buildings for hospital destination. This is
the beginning of the charity hospital. The buildings were destroyed in 1935 with the
exception of the chapel, to make way for the new medical school.
Gaspard Laurent Bayle died in Paris in 1816. He was buried in the 28th division of the Père
Lachaise.
In the same tomb rests Antoine Laurent Bayle, nephew of the preceding, born in 1799 and

is the founder of the Medical Journal. He himself published several works estimated by his
contemporaries, including the Library of Therapeutics, published from 1828 to 1837 in four
volumes in-8.
Domenico Gabrielli says in his Historical Dictionary Pere Lachaise (Paris 2000), that their
burial was resumed in 2001, our approaches to the administration of cemeteries tends to
prove the contrary, advice to research enthusiasts, the 28th Division awaits ...
Médecin clinicien de l’Hôpital de la Charité
Gaspard Laurent Bayle est né en 1774 au Vernet en Provence. Clinicien et anatomopathologiste français il s’est intéressé à la tuberculose et par là, au cancer. Considérés comme
voisins l’un de l’autre. C’est l’un des médecins les plus importants de son temps,
collaborateur de Dupuytren, professeur de Laënnec et de Chomel.
Bayle distingue au sein des squirrhes, des tumeurs bénignes et malignes. Il considère que le
cancer est une maladie générale qui n’est ni contagieuse, ni héréditaire. Par de multiples
examens et de multiples autopsies, il montre le phénomène de diffusion à l’origine des
métastases.

Il écrit un Traité des maladies cancéreuses qui est publié à titre posthume par son neveu,
Antoine Laurent Bayle en 1833. On lui doit aussi un ouvrage intitulé Recherches sur la
phtisie pulmonaire paru en 1810.
Gaspard Laurent Bayle a puissamment contribué au progrès de l’anatomie pathologie. Il
occupa le poste de médecin de l’Hôpital de la Charité. Cet hôpital fondé en 1606, par la
volonté de Marie de Médicis. Elle fait venir en France les Frères de Saint Jean de Dieu. Ils
reçoivent de l’abbé de Saint Germain des Prés l’utilisation de l’ancienne petite chapelle
Saint-Père.
En 1613, ils commencent la construction de bâtiments importants à destination hospitalière.
C’est le début de l’hôpital de la charité. L’ensemble des bâtiments fut détruit vers 1935 à
l’exception de la chapelle, pour faire place à la nouvelle faculté de médecine.
Gaspard Laurent Bayle est décédé à Paris en 1816. Il fut inhumé dans la 28eme division du

contemporains, entre autres la Bibliothèque de Thérapeutique, parue de 1828 à 1837, en
quatre volumes in-8.
Doménico Gabrielli affirme dans son Dictionnaire Historique du Père Lachaise (2000 Paris),
que leur sépulture a été reprise en 2001, nos démarches auprès de l’administration des
cimetières tend à prouver le contraire, avis aux amateurs de recherches, la 28e division vous
attend...
