Consilia played an important role in not only medieval but also
early modern professional health literature. A literary 'consilium'
consisted of a written statement of one particular case, including
the patient's condition and disease as well as advice concerning
medical treatment. In the sixteenth century, consilia literature
was a common component of the practices of many eminent physicians.
This is illustrated through an analysis of consilia from twenty-two
different collections and anthologies by fifteen selected authors,
who represent university professors, personal physicians, and urban
physicians from early modern Italy, France, and German-speaking
Central Europe. A closer look at nearly 7,000 consilia shows how
important a link they were within the medical community. A detailed
view of consilia intended for patients suffering from the 'French
disease' reveals details about, for instance, the most common
treatments for syphilis - mercury and guaiacum - alongside many
other interesting and important details.
