The course will introduce methods and topics for the study of pre modern Western medicine, that is medicine practiced primarily in Western Europe from the time of the Roman Empire to the establishment of prestigious medical faculties at Universities throughout Europe. The history of medicine is not just the history of great doctors, but is also the history of the diseases that every human suffered, from deadly pandemics such as the Black Death to the natural processes of birth, aging and death.
