A literary '\u003ci\u003econsilium\u003c\/i\u003e' consisted of a written statement of one particular case, including the patient's condition and disease as well as advice concerning medical treatment. In the sixteenth century, \u003ci\u003econsilia\u003c\/i\u003e literature was a common component of the practices of many eminent physicians. This is illustrated through an analysis of \u003ci\u003econsilia\u003c\/i\u003e from twenty-two different collections and anthologies by fifteen selected authors, who represent university professors, personal physicians, and urban physicians from early modern Italy, France, and German-speaking Central Europe. A closer look at nearly 7,000 \u003ci\u003econsilia\u003c\/i\u003e shows how important a link they were within the medical community. A detailed view of \u003ci\u003econsilia\u003c\/i\u003e intended for patients suffering from the 'French disease' reveals details about, for instance, the most common treatments for syphilis - mercury and guaiacum - alongside many other interesting and important details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46444293292183,"sku":"9789463723640","price":10376.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789463723640.webp?v=1769129742","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/medical-case-studies-consilia-medica-of-the-early-modern-period-great-pox-documented-9789463723640","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
