Cultures of Plague: Medical thinking at the end of the Renaissance
Cohn, Jr., Samuel K. (, Professor of Medieval History, University of Glasgow)
Cultures of Plague highlights this most feared epidemic, one that threatened Italy from 1575 to 1578 and unleashed an avalanche of plague writing. In the heartland of Counter-Reformation Italy, physicians, along with those outside the profession, questioned the foundations of Galenic and Renaissance medicine, even the role of God.
