Communities of Learned Experience: Epistolary Medicine in the Renaissance

This Book, based on a Johns Hopkins University lecture series, examines Renaissance medical correspondence networks. It analyzes the published letter collections of several prominent physicians, including Johann Lange and Orazio Augenio, highlighting the role of these letters in disseminating medical knowledge, fostering debate, and reflecting the broader intellectual and religious context of the era. The author explores the intersection of humanist scholarship, medical practice, and religious controversies within these epistolary exchanges. Finally, the study considers the evolving nature of medical humanism through the examination of these diverse sources.
