Description

Explore the foundational history of gynaecology through Helen King's detailed examination of the Gynaeciorum libri, a landmark compendium first published in 1566 that brought together ancient and contemporary medical texts on women's health. This scholarly work traces the evolution of gynaecology as a medical subfield by analysing how the compendium was received and utilised across three centuries, from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. King's research reveals the complex relationships between midwifery, obstetrics, and emerging gynaecological practice, offering invaluable insight into how physicians, practitioners, and medical scholars engaged with these crucial texts to shape modern medicine. Part of the Women and Gender in the Early Modern World series, this Routledge publication provides historians, medical students, and scholars interested in gender history with a comprehensive understanding of how medical knowledge about women's bodies was constructed, debated, and refined during the transformative early modern period.

Key Features

The Gynaeciorum libri compendium examined across multiple editions from 1566 to 1597, tracing how medical texts evolved and expanded to 1097 folio pages.

Helen King's analysis focuses on the reception and practical uses of the book throughout the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries in medical history.

Explores the interconnections between midwifery, obstetrics, and gynaecology as distinct yet related medical practices in the early modern world.

Published by Routledge as part of the Women and Gender in the Early Modern World series, providing scholarly context for understanding gender in historical medicine.
