Abstract

Two 17th-century medical treatises. The first is divided into two books, on diseases of women (hysteria and problems of menstruation, pregnancy, birth, and nursing) and diseases of children. The second treatise is on venereal disease, specifically syphilis (morbus gallicus). The compiler cites the 16th-century German physician Johannes Schenck von Grafenberg and the 17th-century Dutch physician Franciscus Silvius. Each disease is described in sections under the headings Causae, Differentiae, Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Curatio. Additional remedies for venereal disease are written on the lower pastedown.
