Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, recurrent plague outbreaks took a grim toll on populations across Europe and Asia. While medical interventions and treatments did not change significantly from the fourteenth century to the eighteenth century, understandings of where and how plague originated did. Through an innovative reading of medical advice literature produced in England and France, Patterns of Plague explores these changing perceptions across four centuries. When plague appeared in the Mediterranean region in 1348, physicians believed the epidemic’s timing and spread could be explained logically and the disease could be successfully treated. This confidence resulted in the widespread and long-term circulation of plague tracts, which described the causes and signs of the disease, offered advice for preventing infection, and recommended therapies in a largely consistent style. What, where, and especially who was blamed for plague outbreaks changed considerably, however, as political, religious, economic, intellectual, medical, and even publication circumstances evolved. Patterns of Plague sheds light on what was consistent about plague thinking and what was idiosyncratic to particular places and times, revealing the many factors that influence how people understand and respond to epidemic disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is a treatise by Maimonides (1135 - 1204)--Jewish philosopher and at one time physician to the court of Egypt--commonly known as De causis accidentium. The treatise is presented here for the first time in a multilingual critical edition that includes the Hebrew, Arabic and medieval Latin texts as well as commentaries on each of them. The incentive for this publication was the recent discovery of a thirteenth-century Hebrew translation of the treatise, reproduced here in facsimile. Neither the Hebrew nor the Latin texts have previously been published in full. Because the editors have kept in mind the wider issues, this volume is congruent with present-day research on the transmission of ancient knowlege in the Middle Ages. Although his treatise was intended merely to treat specific questions involving a certain patient, Maimonides discusses several medical subjects, such as problems involving the circulatory system, the digestive organs and general dietetics, psychiatry, and specific aspects of physiology. A special feature of the volume is the editors' running commentary, based on the Arabic original as well as on various medieval translations, and designed to clarify some of the obscurities of the text, particularly its medical aspects. The editors suggest that Maimonides may have been familiar with such modern concepts as hemoconcentration and the use of psychotropic drugs. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1974.
