From Body to Community: Venereal Disease and Society in Baroque Spain by Cristian Berco
Requirements: .PDF reader, 14.4 MB
Overview: Known in early modern Europe by many names – the French Disease, the Bubas, and, eventually, syphilis – the Great Pox was a chronic disease that carried the stigma of sexuality and produced a slow and painful death. The main institution which treated it, the pox hospital, has come down to us as a stench-filled and overcrowded place that sought to treat the body and reform the soul.
