The essay illustrates the impact of the 1656 plague in Naples on the medicine of the time; authors are distinguished who suggest many remedies, holding firm to the humoral view of the body, and others who instead question galenic notions and denounce that no remedy was effective during the plague. The latter is the position of Thomas Cornelius, as I show in the last pages of the essay.

Abstract
The essay illustrates the impact of the 1656 plague in Naples on the medicine of the time; authors are distinguished who suggest many remedies, holding firm to the humoral view of the body, and others who instead question galenic notions and denounce that no remedy was effective during the plague. The latter is the position of Thomas Cornelius, as I show in the last pages of the essay.File in questo prodotto:
