Communities great and small across Europe for eight centuries have
contracted with doctors. Physicians provided citizen care, helped
govern, and often led in public life. Civic Medicine stakes out
this timely subject by focusing on its golden age, when cities
rivaled territorial states in local and global Europe and when
civic doctors were central to the rise of shared, organized written
information about the human and natural world. This opens the
prospect of a long history of knowledge and action shaped more by
community and responsibility than market or state, exchange or
power.
