The period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment constitutes a
vital phase in the history of European medicine. Elements of
continuity with the classical and medieval past are evident in the
ongoing importance of a humor-based view of medicine and the
treatment of illness. At the same time, new theories of the body
emerged in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to challenge
established ideas in medical circles. In recent years, scholars
have explored this terrain with increasingly fascinating results,
often revising our previous understanding of the ways in which
early modern Europeans discussed the body, health and disease. In
order to understand these and related processes, historians are
increasingly aware of the way in which every aspect of medical care
and provision in early modern Europe was shaped by the social,
religious, political and cultural concerns of the age.
