The Dutch Cholera Epidemic of 1832 as seen through 19th Century Medical Publications

2021 || Paperback || Antoinette van der Kuyl || Eburon || met inkijkexemplaar

When cholera hit the small village of Scheveningen on the west coast of Holland in June 1832, it took everybody by surprise. It had been generally assumed that the deadly disease would come from the east. From India the pandemic had spread throughout Asia, reaching Russia, Poland, then Prussia…… Soldiers had fired their rifles to clear the air, ships had been quarantined, travellers had been stopped and questioned, all to no avail.

The first cases of cholera in the Netherlands were fierce...

2022 || Paperback || Emile Blomme || Uitgeverij Sub Rosa

The same applied to 24-year-old medical student Carolus Blomme from rural Flanders. He was not called up for the army, but as a surgeon in the service de santé, Napoleon’s military medical service. Carolus travelled via Mainz and Dresden to L...

de Raey: the mole in Leiden

Cartesianism in 17th century medical education

2020 || Hardcover || Hendrik Punt || Bibliotheca medico-historica Leidensis || met inkijkexemplaar

This book is not only meant for philosophers and medical historians, but for all who want to take a look at the extensive menu of Cartesian cuisine. The 17th-century philosopher René Descartes turned established science upside down by doubting all certainties. His critical mind rejected statements that could not be proven by the Ratio. The Ratio was the metaphor for the roots, the physics for the trunk and the medicine for the branches and leaves of the Cartesian tree.

This premise was direc...

choices, State building, and the Weight of Tradition

2017 || Paperback || K. Militzer e.a. || Verloren b.v., uitgeverij
