Beskrivelse af The Sinister Shepherd
The Sinister Shepherd is a translated version of Girolamo Fracastoro's Syphilidis Sive De Morbo Gallico Libri Tres. The book is a historical medical treatise that discusses the disease syphilis and its impact on society during the Renaissance period. Fracastoro, a physician and poet, wrote the original work in Latin in the early 16th century. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part discussing the origins and spread of syphilis. The second part focuses on the symptoms and treatment of the disease, while the third part delves into the social and cultural implications of syphilis, including its impact on art and literature. The Sinister Shepherd provides a fascinating glimpse into the medical knowledge and beliefs of the Renaissance era, as well as the societal attitudes towards disease and sexuality. The translation is accompanied by extensive footnotes and annotations, providing further context and understanding of the text. This book is a valuable resource for historians, medical professionals, and anyone interested in the history of medicine and disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
