He is said to have been personal physician to Pope Innocentius X and Pope Alexander VII. Zacchias was also legal adviser to the Rota Romana, the highest Papal court of appeals, and head of the medical system in the Papal States. His most well-known book in three volumes, Quæstiones medico-legales (1621–1651), established legal medicine as a topic of study."
