JOHN EVELYN and MEDICINE* by C
JOHN EVELYN AND MEDICINE* by C. D. O'MALLEY JOHN EvELYN has often been described as a virtuoso in the seventeenth-century meaning of that word, and if it be recalled that the Earl of Arundel, the greatest of the virtuosi was his patron, that Evelyn was a member of the Royal Society almost from its inception and a diligent attendant of its meetings, which at that time dealt with a wide variety of curiosa and technological as well as scientific problems, that he was a vocal and literary exponent and collector of the odd and the artistic, and a recognized authority on architecture and gardens, he must certainly be classed among the notable virtuosi of his day. But within his multifarious interests and their related activities Evelyn appears to have had a particular regard for medicine, one that transcended the usual concern of those members of his class who did not espouse that subject professionally. Except for somewhat intermittent studies at Oxford, undertaken more as an obligation than because of genuine desire, medicine was the only discipline in which he deliberately took any formal instruction, and throughout the many years covered by his Diary medicine and matters ancillary to it received uncommon attention." Anyone living in the seventeenth century was very much aware of accident, disease, and ever proximate death. It was quite in the order of things that Evelyn, born in 1620, recalled from his fifth year the severe plague in 1625, its high mortality and the fact, as he later wrote, that he himself 'was shortly after so dangerously sick of a Feavor, that (as I have heard), the Physitians despair'd of me' (ii.7).2 He was fourteen years old when his sister Elizabeth died (ii.12), fifteen at the death of his mother, whose four attending physicians were identified by name in the Diary (ii.14-15), and twenty at the time of his father's death (ii.26). -

Francja Edit Nancy Thompson
‘Inspired by the Impressionists’ Provence Tour Art League of Ocean City June 14-24, 2020 with Nancy Ellen Thompson Experience Magical Provence A journey you will never forget! Join us! Lavender, vineyards, olive trees, thyme, fresh figs, medieval villages, markets and sun-filled landscapes! Discover why the region was such an inspiration for artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne and Monet. Following in the footsteps of the Impressionists in Provence, we will visit many important and beautiful towns and villages: -St Remy where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last months of his life. We will visit Saint-Paul-de-Mausole monastery, the hospice where the painter produced some of his most famous works, such as the Sunflowers. -Aix-en-Provence, a thriving cultural center. Here we will visit Cézanne’s studio, left just as it was when he painted there. -Arles , a Provencal city called Little Rome. Centuries ago, it played an important role as a colony of Julius Caesar and today is a great museum of a city. This is the city where Vincent van Gogh created his most important paintings and lost his ear. Also, Picasso and his museum, to which Picasso, in love with Arles and in bullfights, donated a number of his works and thus initiated the creation of a museum of the art of his own name. June is lavender season! We will sketch beautiful fields and visit the lavender museum in Senanqe Abbey. It is one of the most photographic places in France. Of course, we make time to explore vineyards and have a wine tasting of French wines. -

While an awareness of the efflorescence has helped recover a fuller picture of the historical landscape, the enterprise did not foment an appreciable change in Arabic grammatical or linguistic expertise for the majority of seventeenth-century university students learning the language. As a result, the desuetude of Arabic Studies by the 1660s has been regarded as further evidence for the conclusion that the project reaped insubstantial benefits for the history of science and for the Scientific Revolution. Rather, this inquiry contends that the influence of the Arabic transmission of Greek philosophical works extended beyond Renaissance Italy to Stuart England, which not only shared a continuity with the continental reception of Latinized Arabic texts but selectively investigated some sources of original Arabic scientific ideas and methods with new rigor. -

ATINER is an independent and non- profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER‟s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens“…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing”. (“Pericles‟ Funeral Oration”, in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER‟s mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people‟s opinions and beliefs. -
