Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a resounding history of syphilis's arrival and impact in Europe between 1493 and 1530, a period of great upheaval. Medical practitioners called it the French disease, while the French called it the Neapolitan disease. Sufferers endured painful and disfiguring symptoms, and there was much fear surrounding the disease and how it spread. The author traces how syphilis was initially perceived as a divine punishment before eventually being recognized as a contagious disease. It details treatments and remedies used, which were often ineffective and sometimes harmful, and it provides social and religious perspectives on the disease and those who suffered from it. The book also examines the societal impact of syphilis as well as the ways it was discussed in literature, by analyzing texts from the period including letters, poems, chronicles and sermons. By examining a range of sources, the author reveals the complex and evolving nature of syphilis during its early years in Europe and sheds new light on the social, cultural, religious, and medical responses to this devastating disease.
