Description

This scholarly work explores how the 'French disease', also known as the 'French pox' or 'Morbus Gallicus', was understood and defined in the German Imperial city of Augsburg between 1495 and 1630. By rejecting modern disease concepts imposed on historical contexts, the book demonstrates how early modern medical theory allowed considerable flexibility in disease identification and conceptualisation. Drawing on extensive primary source material, it combines theoretical examination of the disease with practical historical application, revealing how disease identification functioned as a local, constantly negotiated matter within early modern German society. This interdisciplinary approach bridges medical history with cultural and social history, offering readers fresh insights into how disease understanding shaped medical practice and community responses during a transformative period.
