However, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, worms became the subject of extensive scientific investigations and began to be implicated in a much wider array of diseases. The advent of widespread use of the compound microscope for scientific investigation in the mid-seventeenth century contributed to a flourishing of research into parasitic organisms, particularly worms, and their role in disease. Although historians of medicine have written about the history of parasitology, almost all of these studies begin with the formal establishment of parasitology as a scientific discipline in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The preceding two centuries of parasitological research, however, remain relatively unexamined. In this project, I argue that parasites, especially worms, were important explanatory mechanisms for a wide range of diseases during the early modern period. Thus, the neglect of early modern parasitology by historians of medicine means that we have missed a crucial aspect of medical theory in this period. This project contributes to our understanding of early modern ideas about disease and disease causation by challenging existing historiographical categories. viii One of the vilest Animals in the World is examin’d here with such noble Erudition, as makes us forthwith lose the Idea of its baseness; and all the Disgust which the Matter might cause in us, must give way to the agreeable diversity of Matters of Fact, and the Elegance with which they are related… as important for the practice of Physic as curious for natural History. —M. Guy Crescent Fagon All these Observations, which we have hitherto recited, shew how easie and common a thing it is for Worms to breed in the Body of Man, and consequently how much it behoves the Physicians carefully to watch the Signs by which they may know when their Patients are infested with them. —Nicolas Andry de Bois-Regard ix INTRODUCTION In 1699, the famous Dutch physicist and microscopist Nicholas Hartsoeker (1656-1725) wrote a letter to the French physician Nicolas Andry (1658-1742) in which he commented on the role of worms in human disease: “To tell you my thoughts, Sir, I believe that Worms occasion most Diseases with which Mankind is attack’d, and likewise that those who have the Distempers that are called Venereal, nourish in their Bodies an infinite number of invisible Insects, who gnaw and devour every thing that comes in their way.”1 From antiquity, parasites, and especially worms, were thought to be responsible for human suffering and disease. However, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, worms became the subject of extensive scientific investigations and began to be implicated in a much wider array of diseases. The advent of widespread use of the compound microscope for scientific investigation in the mid-seventeenth century contributed to a flourishing of research into parasitic organisms, particularly worms, and their role in disease.

  • A Saint in the History of Cardiology
    Arch Cardiol Mex. 2014;84(1):47---50 www.elsevier.com.mx SPECIAL ARTICLE A saint in the history of Cardiology Alfredo de Micheli ∗, Raúl Izaguirre Ávila National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chavez, Tlalpan, DF, Mexico Received 19 December 2012; accepted 22 January 2013 KEYWORDS Abstract Niels Stensen (1638---1686) was born in Copenhagen. He took courses in medicine Niels Stensen; at the local university under the guidance of Professor Thomas Bartholin and later at Leiden Anatomy; under the tutelage of Franz de la Boë (Sylvius). While in Holland, he discovered the existence of Physiology; the parotid duct, which was named Stensen’s duct or stenonian duct (after his Latinized name Muscular fibers; Nicolaus Stenon). He also described the structural and functional characteristics of peripheral Heart muscles and myocardium. He demonstrated that muscular contraction could be elicited by appropriate nerve stimulation and by direct stimulation of the muscle itself and that during contraction the latter does not increase in volume. Toward the end of 1664, the Academic Senate of the University of Leiden awarded him the doctor in medicine title. Later, in Florence, he was admitted as a corresponding member in the Academia del Cimento (Experimental Academy) and collaborated with the Tuscan physician Francesco Redi in studies relating to viviparous development. In the Tuscan capital, he converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism and was shortly afterwards ordained in the clergy. After a few years, he was appointed apostolic vicar in northern Germany and died in the small town of Schwerin, capital of the Duchy of Mecklenburg- Schwerin on November 25, 1686.

  • The Development of the Spa in Seventeenth-Century France
    Medical History, Supplement No. 10, 1990, 23-47. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPA IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE L. W. B. Brockliss THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SPA In the Anglo-Saxon world the enthusiasm of the twentieth-century Frenchman for imbibing his country's mineral waters is proverbial. It is surprising, therefore, to discover that the French contribution to the resuscitation of the spa in the era of the Renaissance was minimal. For most ofthe sixteenth century, the nation that has given mankind the waters of Vichy and Evian (to name but two) was largely unmoved by the fad for the hot-spring and the mineral bath that swept the Italian peninsula, crossed the Alps into the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and penetrated even our own shores. It was not that France's future spas were undiscovered, for many had a Romano-Gallic provenance. It was rather that the therapeutic potential of mineral waters remained unrecognized by the Galenic medical establishment and hence by the large majority of the court, aristocracy, and urban elite who formed their clients. Significantly, when Andreas Baccius published the first general guide to the spas of Europe in 1571 he had little to say about France. Passing reference was made to several Roman foundations but only the virtues of Bourbon-Lancy were described in detail.1 Significantly, too, the only member of the French royal family who definitely did take the waters in the first three-quarters of the sixteenth century was united by marriage to the house of Navarre and patronized, as did her daughter later, the springs of Beam, not those of France.2 The situation first began to change in the 1 580s when a number of local physicians started to promote the waters adjacent to the towns in which they plied their profession.

  • Nicolaas Hartsoeker (1656-1725) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Nicolaas Hartsoeker (1656-1725) [1] By: Lawrence, Cera R. Keywords: Biography [2] Sperm [3] Homunculus [4] Preformationism [5] Nicolaas Hartsoeker [6], a Dutch astronomer, optics manufacturer, and naturalist, was born 26 March 1656 in Gouda, Netherlands, and died 10 December 1725. His mother was Anna van der Mey and his father was Christiaan Hartsoeker, a prominent evangelical minister. His major contribution to embryology [7] was his observations of human sperm [8] cells, which he claimed to be the first to see under a microscope [9]. His sketch of the homunculus, a tiny preformed human he believed to exist in the head of spermatazoa, is his lasting scientific legacy in the field of embryology [7]. This sketch was only a minor part of his first publication, Essai de Dioptrique (1694), which dealt primarily with the use of optical lenses in science. In subsequent years the sketch became iconic of the theory of embryological development known now as preformationism. Hartsoeker himself was a vocal adherent of spermist preformationism and is often cited as the originator of the idea. Hartsoeker’s father wanted his son to follow in his theological footsteps, but Nicolaas was interested in astronomy and physics. According to most accounts of his life, the younger Hartsoeker secretly studied mathematics, physics, and astronomy, paying for lessons from a local tutor out of the small allowance granted him by his father. Hartsoeker also taught himself the skill of forming and grinding glass for optical lenses. He claimed to invent a technique for making superior magnifying lens for microscopy [10], a technique also attributed to Johann Hudde, which consisted of forming glass filaments into spherical globules by exposing them to open flame.

  • Leeuwenhoek's Letters and the Circulation of Knowledge:Individual
    The Global and the Local: The History of Science and the Cultural Integration of Europe. nd Proceedings of the 2 ICESHS (Cracow, Poland, September 6–9, 2006) / Ed. by M. Kokowski. Lodewijk C. Palm * Leeuwenhoek’s letters and the circulation of knowledge: Individual preferences THE DUTCH MICROSCOPIST Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) described his microscopical observations in more than 350 letters. The greater part, more than 190, were written to the Royal Society in London. The others were addressed to friends, scientists and politicians in the Dutch Republic and abroad. The letters were often accompanied with drawings, mostly in red chalk. Leeuwenhoek did not draw these illustrations himself but asked various draughtsmen, whose names we do not know, to depict his observations. The secretaries of the Royal Society in London had 116 letters published in fragmentary or complete translation in the Philosophical Transactions. Since Leeuwenhoek only wrote in Dutch, more particular the Delft vernacular, his letters had to be translated by Fellows who were able to do so. Apart from these publications, 174 letters were published in Dutch and in Latin during Leeuwenhoek’s lifetime, between 1684 and 1719. Only 49 letters have been published contemporary both in Dutch, Latin and English. Leeuwenhoek never wrote a book or monograph, so that his letters are the only key to his works and thoughts. However, not every correspondent or reader received Leeuwenhoek’s work enthusiastically. I will claim that individual preferences and personal commitments were an important factor with regard to the circulation of Leeuwenhoek’s observations and ideas. I will discuss the attitudes of the various secretaries and editors of the Royal Society and some individual natural philosophers like Christiaan Huygens, Nicolaas Hartsoeker, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

  • Peter Kolb's Description of the Khoikhoi at the Cape
    JEMH 10,1-2_2030_60-94 5/12/06 1:48 PM Page 61 THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN AUTHORITATIVE TEXT: PETER KOLB’S DESCRIPTION OF THE KHOIKHOI AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ANNE GOOD Reinhardt College Abstract Peter Kolb (1675-1726), a German astronomer and mathematician, was an unlikely can- didate to write the book that became the most well-known source of the Cape of Good Hope and the Khoikhoi in the eighteenth century. This essay uses Kolb’s work as a case study for the transformation of one man’s personal observations into a variety of works that were quite different from the originals in scope and intention. First, the essay discusses the genesis of Kolb’s book, Caput Bonae Spei Hodiernum, and focuses on the Khoikhoi. I argue that Kolb’s genius lies in emphasizing communalities among Europeans and Khoikhoi, as well as the rationality of Khoikhoi customs. The second part of the essay establishes that Kolb’s book did indeed become the most authoritative source of the Cape in the eighteenth century. Over the course of that century, the book was rad- ically modified in translations and abridgements to cover only certain essential topics, and increasingly to emphasize the otherness of the Khoikhois. I. Introduction: Interpreting Accounts of the Khoikhoi In 1746, 27 years after the publication of Peter Kolb’s Caput Bonae Spei Hodiernum, a dramatically abridged version of it appeared in a popular collection of travel narratives compiled by Thomas Astley in London, titled, A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels.

  • Hippocrates the Iatromechanist
    Medical History, 1981, 25: 113-150. HIPPOCRATES THE IATROMECHANIST by IAIN M. LONIE* INTRODUCTION THE TITLE of this essay correctly indicates that it is about Hippocrates. Yet the content is largely concerned with the writings of Friedrich Hoffmann (1660-1742), Professor of Medicine and Physics at Halle from 1693 to 1742, and the author of an influential system of medicine. This requires some explanation. It is about Hippocrates, or the Hippocratic writings, in the sense that it seeks to identify the pre- sence of certain features in them. It approaches this question, however, through the work of Hoffmann, whom it also seeks to understand in certain features of his thought. Hoffmann looked for, and found, characteristics in the Hippocratic corpus which matched those of his own medicine, a medicine which he called "mechanical". This suggests the main question with which the essay is concerned: to what extent are mechanistic features present in the Hippocratic corpus, and in what sense or senses of the word "mechanism"? Hoffmann both prompts this enquiry and maintains it in focus because, just as he is sensitive to some features, so he disregards others, curiously to my mind. In this way, he acts as a useful control upon our prejudices. So Hoffmann also becomes a subject of the essay, since we need to understand what he meant by mechanism, and why he found Hippocratic medicine congenial to it. K. E. Rothschuh has recently pointed out that Hoffmann's position in the history of medical thought has always been difficult to locate.' Historians have described him equally as a mechanist, an animist, or even as a vitalist.
