For some mysterious reason it was impossible to register it, and for an equally mysterious reason it could not be insured unless it was cut in two! This is the new economics! It was also necessary to fill up a form in quadruplicate. If these things go on in a free world, what must it be like in Spain!2 It was lovely seeing you amidst all your books and labours.3 With affectionate greetings from us both to Emmy and yourself, Yours ever, Charles Singer P.S. I have reviewed the first volume of your History for the B.M.J. I used a good deal of the material I had used for the Bulletin, but added a few new points and took out a note of criticism.4 1 Singer (1948). 2 Spain was still under the Franco dictatorship. 3 Singer’s first visit to Sigerist at Pura. 4 Charles Singer, ‘Review of A history of medicine, vol.

Sigerist’, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, 1951, 15: 91–93. 354 Singer to Sigerist, Kilmarth, Cornwall, 2 August 1951 My dear Sigerist, You’d like to see the present stage of the plan for Vol. I of A History of Technology, of which I enclose a copy.1 It really is going on very well, and it looks as though we shall be in a position to send something to the press by the end of this year. With all good wishes to you both from us all, Yours ever, Charles Singer 1 Singer et al. (eds), (1954). 275 1951 355 Singer to Sigerist, Kilmarth, Cornwall, 8 September 1951 My dear Sigerist, I am so very sorry to hear about Erica.1 Do let us hear how she goes on. One would have thought that Switzerland of all countries would be free from typhoid. What an anxi- ety for you both. I am glad you liked my note on the Hippocratic Oath.2 Fischer did really collect a fine lot of essays for that number of Gesnerus.3 I am enclosing a copy of my review of your book in this week’s British Medical Jour- nal.4 It is largely the same though not identical with the review in the Johns Hopkins Bul- letin. Yours ever, Charles Singer 1 Sigerist’s daughter. 2 Charles Singer, ‘An early parallel to the Hippocratic Oath’, Gesnerus, 1951, 8: 177–180. 3 Hans Fischer (1892–1976) Swiss pharmacologist and medical historian, editor of Gesnerus, the Swiss Journal of the History of Medicine and Science, see Erwin H.

Is her temperature and condition normal yet? This letter finds both Dorothea and myself in bed with some mild infection of the usual respiratory type. My temperature has quite gone down and has now been normal for two days but hers is still hovering. I suppose we shall be living a half-cock sort of life for another week. We both had or are having injections of penicillin, which certainly take immediate effect. I have just had a letter from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine ask- ing my advice on a point. They tell me that one of their staff has prepared an English translation of : PETTENKOFER (Max) Uber den Luftwechsel in Wohngeba¨uden. Mu¨nchen 1858.1 I wrote to them saying that I thought it was of value but that I required to ask your opi- nion. They say there is no copy of the German edition in any library of this country. This is an enquiry as to your view on the subject. There is no difficulty about getting it printed at an early date if you think it advisable. 276 1951 The History of Technology is really going better than I could possibly have hoped. It looks as though we can get a substantial part of it into the press in January.2 I wish I could see any chance of getting my various other works out of the press! With all kind wishes to Emmie and yourself from us both, Yours ever, Charles Singer P.S. My friend Greeves, whom I often see, alwasy asks to be remembered to you both. 1 Max Pettenkofer (1818–1901) German hygienist, see Claude E. Dolman, ‘Pettenkofer, Max Josef von’, Complete dictionary of scientific biography, vol. 10 (Detroit: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 2008), 556–563. 2 See letter 354. 357 Sigerist to Singer, Pura, 20 November 1951 My dear Singer, Thanks for your letter of 7th November. I was very sorry to hear that Dorothea and yourself had been ill, but I hope that you have recovered entirely by now. Erica is fine and back at work. She was very sick in spite of chloromycetine, and her recovery was very slow.1 She was with us in Pura for seven weeks, but has completely recovered by now. I also had a letter from Cyril C. Barnard concerning Pettenkofer.2 I am sorry to say that I have never read his treatise “Uber den Luftwechsel in Wohngeba¨uden”. I am trying to get a copy from Zurich or Basle, and will let you know what I think of it. It was good news to hear that the History of Technology is progressing so well and so rapidly. I shall of course be most anxious to see the first volume.3 Warm wishes to Dorothea and yourself in which Emmy joins, Yours as ever, Henry E. Sigerist 1 Chloromycetine, an early antibiotic, no longer in use. 2 Cyril C. Barnard (1894–1959) British medical historian. 3 See previous letter. 277 1952 358 Sigerist to Singer, Pura, 25 January 1952 My dear Singer, What a charming little book.1 Thank you ever so much for it. Of course I knew most of your essays, but those from the Times Literary Supplement were new to me, and I see that you have made a good many changes in the others. Those on Graeco-Roman subjects are particularly useful to me at the moment, and I am very glad to have them collected in one volume. I am also delighted that you included chapters from The Christian Failure.2 I think I wrote you at the time that I liked this little book very much and devoted two hours of a seminar to its discussion. I think one should publish collected essays more often, because it is so much more con- venient to the reader to have them together in one volume instead of scattered in journals. Besides it gives the author a chance to revise some of his earlier writings. We never stop learning and after many years it is good to be able to take a subject up again. We are having a beautiful winter, rather cold for this section of the country, although night temperatures of 28–32˚F are not formidable. For many weeks we have had glorious sunshine almost every day and it will be spring very soon. I am sure that in Cornwall the spring flowers are beginning to bloom also. We very much hope that you will come to Lugano again, even without the excuse of a pneumonia. This certainly would be a very great pleasure. Warm wishes to Dorothea and yourself in which Emmy joins. Yours as ever, Henry E. Sigerist 1 Charles Singer, New worlds and old (London, 1951). 2 Charles Singer, The Christian failure (London, 1943). 359 Sigerist to Singer, Pura, 12 February 1952 My dear Singer, I am sending you enclosed a carbon1 of my letter to Mr. Barnard, which I think is self- explanatory. Pettenkofer’s book makes rather dull reading,2 but it undoubtedly is a 278 1952 landmark in the history of the subject, and if funds are available for the publication of an English translation, I would recommend to go ahead with it.

  • PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS Charles
    BJHS, 1997, 30, 5–23 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS† Charles Singer and the early years of the British Society for the History of Science GEOFFREY CANTOR* Presidential addresses offer an opportunity to reflect on the history of our subject and where the history of science stands in our own day. Such reflections are particularly appropriate with the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the British Society for the History of Science (BSHS) which is marked in 1997. Some may consider that looking back over our past is either an unacceptable luxury or an occasion for the kind of celebration that can all too easily degenerate into hagiography and an excuse to rake over " the past in a thoroughly uncritical manner. This address – and I trust the events of 1997 – will try to avoid such excesses and instead contribute to the historiography of our subject. This paper contains an all-too-sketchy account of the role of the first president, Charles Singer (1876–1960), in the founding of the BSHS. My main theme is Singer’s commitment to a form of internationalism that appeared so necessary and so appealing after Europe had been shattered by Fascism and a devastating war. I shall be exploring the ways in which his background and the political events of the 1930s and 1940s shaped his vision for the history of science in the post-war era and especially his concern to found a specifically British society that would, through encouraging study of the history of science, contribute to international peace and stability. I should make clear at the outset that by focusing on Singer I will doubtless undervalue the roles of the many other people who were active in the early years of this Society.

  • DOROTHEA WALEY SINGER (1882-I964)
    DOROTHEA WALEY SINGER (1882-i964) DOROTHEA WALEY SINGER, the widow of Professor Charles Singer (1876-1960), the first President of the British Society for the History of Science, died at her home in Cornwall on 24 June 1964, in her eighty- second year. Her death marks the end of an era, for Charles and Dorothea Singer had been associated with the international societies for the history of medicine and of science since their inception; he was a foundation member of the History of Medicine Section of the Royal Society of Medicine which was founded in 1912, and she was an early member of that section; and they were both foundation members of the British Society for the History of Science. Dorothea Singer was the second daughter of Nathaniel L. Cohen, L.C.C., a stockbroker, of London and Englefield Green, and of his wife, Julia M. Waley. She was born on 17 December 1882, and after the usual education of girls at that time she spent some years at Queen's College, London, where she took a course which was roughly equivalent to an ordinary B.A. In 1910 she married Charles Singer, and they lived in London until Singer went to Oxford in 1914. From 1920 they lived in Highgate Village, London, until their removal to Cornwall in 1934. Dorothea Singer was early associated with her husband in papers on the history of medicine. The first was their work on the contagium vivum, which appeared in 1913, and between then and 1927 they published seven papers in collaboration, including important studies of Fracastoro and of the School of Salerno.

  • Medicine, Race, and the Social Implications of the 1721 Inoculation Controversy on Boston
    “In His Arm the Scar”: Medicine, Race, and the Social Implications of the 1721 Inoculation Controversy on Boston DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christianna Elrene Thomas Hurford, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Alan Gallay, Advisor Professor Leslie Alexander Professor Walter C. Rucker Copyright by Christianna Elrene Thomas Hurford 2010 Abstract This dissertation examines the convergence of Atlantic World medicine and disease with the 1721 smallpox epidemic in Boston and controversy that arose over the practice of inoculation. In Boston, Puritan beliefs intersected with the growing importance of theoretical medical training in Europe, and also with medical practices from Africa. As a result, the controversy over accepted medical treatment highlighted competing views of disease: as an act of the supernatural, as a result of an external pathogenic agent, or some combination of both. This dissertation places the African practice of inoculation at the matrix of what became an Atlantic-wide debate on the efficacy of Europeans obtaining valuable knowledge from Africans. I explore the consequent social upheaval in which issues of race, culture, and concepts of self, body, and “the other” all surfaced. My project is significant in several ways. By viewing the controversy through the lens of race I add a new dimension to the historiography on the inoculation controversy that moves beyond the medical – religious debate over the proper response to disease, to an assessment of how medical changes in the Atlantic World affected the daily lives of both white and black Bostonians.

  • Scientific Humanisms and the Anthropocene, Or the Dream of Steering the Evolution of the Human and Natural World
    Scientific Humanisms and the Anthropocene, Or the Dream of Steering the Evolution of the Human and Natural World Marianne Sommer Práticas da História, n.º 11 (2020): 199-223 www.praticasdahistoria.pt Práticas da História, n.º 11 (2020): 199-223 Marianne Sommer Scientific Humanisms and the Anthropocene, Or the Dream of Steering the Evolution of the Human and Natural World This contribution engages with different forms of humanism coming out of the history of science and evolutionary biology, called new, scientific, evolutionary, and ecological, from the interwar years to the post-war pe- riod. The focus lies on issues of progress, teleology, universalism, and Eu- rocentrism in the associated conceptualizations of (evolutionary) history, the present, and the future. According to the grand narrative of Julian Sorell Huxley, transitions took place at the threshold of the inorganic to the biological and from the biological to the human or psychosocial phase of evolution that changed the rules of the game. As a leading figure of the modern synthesis, he strongly opposed notions of teleology. Yet the latter was paramount in maintaining the possibility for consciously steered development in the human phase. Combined with the science of ecology and applied-ecological programs, such humanisms amounted to a prefiguration of what today is calledAnthropocene . They, alongside the Anthropocene, stand for the responsibility of universal humankind for the future of the planet. While it seems as if the real stewards of progressive evolution were scientific elites, it is therefore also the notion of anthropos inherent in such concepts that appears problematic. Keywords: Humanism, Evolution, Teleology, Anthropocene.

  • Derek De Solla Price and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Instrument
    Downloaded from http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/ on March 30, 2015 Notes Rec. (2014) 68, 111–134 doi:10.1098/rsnr.2013.0062 Published online 5 February 2014 THE SCHOLAR AS CRAFTSMAN: DEREK DE SOLLA PRICE AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF A MEDIEVAL INSTRUMENT by SEB FALK* Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, Free School Lane, Cambridge CB2 3RH, UK The Royal Society Conversaziones were biannual social evenings at which distinguished guests could learn about the latest scientific developments. The Conversazione in May 1952 featured an object that came to be called King Arthur’s Table. It was a planetary equatorium, made in Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory at the behest of Sir Lawrence Bragg. Conceived by the historian of science Derek de Solla Price as a huge, tangible realization of Chaucerian astronomy, it was displayed at the new Whipple Museum of the History of Science, discarded, stored incognito, catalogued with that whimsical name, and finally re-identified in 2012. This article examines the biography of that object and, through it, the early, inchoate years of the discipline of history of science in Cambridge. The process of disciplinary establishment involved a range of actors beyond well-known figures such as Herbert Butterfield and Joseph Needham; the roles of Price and Bragg are highlighted here. Study of these individuals, and of the collaboration that brought about the reconstruction, reveals much about the establishment of a discipline, as well as changing scholarly and curatorial attitudes

  • Making Modern Migraine Medieval: Men of Science, Hildegard of Bingen and the Life of a Retrospective Diagnosis
    Med. Hist. (2014), vol. 58(3), pp. 354–374. c The Author 2014. Published by Cambridge University Press 2014 The online version of this article is published within an Open Access environment subject to the conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution licence <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/>. doi:10.1017/mdh.2014.28 Making Modern Migraine Medieval: Men of Science, Hildegard of Bingen and the Life of a Retrospective Diagnosis KATHERINE FOXHALL* University of Leicester, School of History, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK Abstract: Charles Singer’s retrospective diagnosis of Hildegard of Bingen as a migraine sufferer, first made in 1913, has become commonly accepted. This article uses Hildegard as a case study to shift our focus from a polarised debate about the merits or otherwise of retrospective diagnosis, to examine instead what happens when diagnoses take on lives of their own. It argues that simply championing or rejecting retrospective diagnosis is not enough; that we need instead to appreciate how, at the moment of creation, a diagnosis reflects the significance of particular medical signs and theories in historical context and how, when and why such diagnoses can come to do meaningful work when subsequently mobilised as scientific ‘fact’. This article first traces the emergence of a new formulation of migraine in the nineteenth century, then shows how this context enabled Singer to retrospectively diagnose Hildegard’s migraine and finally examines some of the ways in which this idea has gained popular and academic currency in the second half of the twentieth century. The case of Hildegard’s migraine reminds us of the need to historicise scientific evidence just as rigorously as we historicise our other material and it exposes the cumulative methodological problems that can occur when historians use science, and scientists use history on a casual basis.
