Faith-healing.
Medicine in medi?val Christian3 history is simply the history of miracles of healing wrought4 by saints or by their relics5. Bede’s Ecclesiastical History, for example, is full of saintly cures and marvels6 of healing. The study of medical science under such circumstances could have had but little encouragement. Doctors were but of secondary importance where holy relics and saintly personages were everywhere present to cure.

Charms and Astrology.
A curious little MS. volume was discovered amongst the MSS. at Loseley, which contained a Latin grammar, a Treatise12 on Astrology, various medical recipes and precautions, with forms for making wills. It had probably been a monk14’s manual. The writing was the character of the fifteenth century. Some of the medical recipes and astrological precautions are said to be taken from “Master Galien (Galen), leche,” thus:—“For all manner of fevers. Take iii drops of a woman’s mylke yt norseth a knave15 childe, and do it in a hennes egge that ys sedentere (or sitting), and let hym suppe it up when the evyl takes hym.—For hym—that may not slepe. Take and wryte yese wordes into leves of lether: Ismael! Ismael! adjuro te per Angelum Michaelum ut soporetur homo iste; and lay this under his bed, so yt he wot not yerof, and use it all-way lytell, and lytell, as he have nede yerto.” Under the head,—“Here begyneth ye waxingge of ye mone, and declareth in dyvers tymes to let blode, whiche be gode. In the furste begynynge of the mone it is profetable to yche man to be letten blode; ye ix of the mone, neyther be (by) nyght ne by day, it is not good.”804
335
One Simon Trippe, a physician, writing to a patient to excuse himself for not being able to visit him, says: “As for my comming to you upon Wensday next, verely my promise be past to an old pacient of mine, a very good gentlewoman, one Mrs. Clerk, wch now lieth in great extremity16. I cannot possibly be with you till Thursday. On Fryday and Saterday the signe wilbe in the heart; on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, in the stomake; during wch tyme it wilbe no good dealing17 with your ordinary physicke untill Wensday come sevenight at the nearest, and from that time forwards for 15 or 16 days passing good.”805
This is very similar to what we find in Bede’s Ecclesiastical History, where (a.d. 686) “a holy Bishop18 having been asked to bless a sick maiden19, asked ‘when she had been bled?’ and being told that it was on the fourth day of the moon, said: ‘You did very indiscreetly and unskilfully to bleed her on the fourth day of the moon; for I remember that Archbishop Theodore, of blessed memory, said that bleeding at that time was very dangerous, when the light of the moon and the tide of the ocean is increasing; and what can I do to the girl if she is like to die?’”806
Holinshed says807 that a lewd21 fellow, in the sixth year of Richard the Second, “took upon him to be skilful20 in physick and astronomy,” predicted that the rise of a “pestilent planet” would cause much sickness and death amongst the people; but as the pestilence22 did not appear, the fellow was punished severely23. Stow records808 that one Roger Bolingbroke, in the second year of Henry the Sixth (1423), was accused of necromancy24 and endeavouring by diabolical25 arts to consume the king’s person. He was seized with all his instruments of magic and set upon a scaffold in St. Paul’s Churchyard, where he abjured26 his diabolical arts in the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury and many other prelates. The punishment for witchcraft27 was hanging or burning alive.
Strutt says809 that it was extremely dangerous in those days to pretend to any supernatural knowledge; as every one believed in the influence of malignant28 spirits, and that they were obedient to the call of the necromancers. “No contagion29 could happen among the cattle of a farmer, but the devil was the cause, and some conjurer was sought out; so that if any wretched vagabonds of fortune-tellers could be found, they were instantly accused of this horrid30 crime, and perhaps burnt alive.”810
336
The Revival of Learning.
Pope Nicholas V. (1389-1455) was a man of great intellectual sympathies. He was not devoted31 to any one branch of learning, but was “a well-informed dillettante, wandering at will wherever his fancy led him.” ?neas Sylvius said of him: “From his youth he has been initiated32 into all liberal arts; he is acquainted with all philosophers, historians, poets, cosmographers, and theologians; and is no stranger to civil and canon law, or even to medicine.” He was the patron of scholars, and was equally devoted to ecclesiastical and profane33 literature. Although he was the son of a physician, it is not true that he was ever one himself, as has been stated.811 It is pleasant, however, to reflect that this pope, whose name is most intimately associated with the revival of learning, probably imbibed34 much of the scientific lore35 of his time which his father’s profession would encourage, and that taste for learning and that liberal spirit which has always been associated with the medical profession. The Humanists—as those who devoted themselves to the Humanities, such as philology36, rhetoric37, poetry, and the study of the ancient classes, were called—found a friendly reception at the papal court.
Nicholas of Cusa was the reforming Cardinal38 Bishop of Brixen (1401-1464). Giordano Bruno called him “the divine Cusanus.” In physical science he was greatly in advance of his age, and he united moral worth with intellectual gifts of the highest order.
Pope Pius II., better known in literature as ?neas Sylvius, pope from 1458 to 1464, was also a great friend to the Humanists, a man of great intellectual power. He stands forth39 in history as “the figure in whom the medi?val and the modern spirit are most distinctly seen to meet and blend,” ere the age of science begins to strangle the age of superstition40. Professor Creighton says that Pius II. is the first writer “who consciously applied41 a scientific conception of history to the explanation and arrangement of passing events.”812
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), “the Faust of the Renaissance42,” excelled not only as an artist, but in all kinds of experimental investigation43. He was an anatomist, botanist44, physiologist45, and chemist. Had he applied himself wholly to science, he would have been foremost in that branch to which he devoted his wonderful energies. He was one of the greatest and earliest of natural philosophers. He has been declared to have been “the founder46 of the study of the anatomy47 and structural48 classification of plants, the founder, or at least the chief337 reviver, of the science of hydraulics—[the discoverer of] the molecular49 composition of water, the motion of waves, and even the undulatory theory of light and heat. He discovered the construction of the eye and the optical laws of vision, and invented the camera obscura. He investigated the composition of explosives and the application of steam power.”813
Matthew de Gradibus, of Fiuli, near Milan, in 1480 composed treatises50 on the anatomy of the human body. He first described the ovaries of the female correctly.
Gabriel de Zerbis (about 1495), of Verona, an eminent51 but verbose52 anatomist, dissected53 the human subject, and recognised the olfactory54 nerves. He mentioned the oblique55 and circular muscular fibres of the stomach.
Alexander Achillini (1463-1512), of Bologna, the pupil of Mondino, is known in the history of anatomy as the first who described the two bones of the ear (tympanal bones), the malleus and incus. In 1503 he showed that the tarsus (or ankle and instep bones) were seven in number, so painfully and slowly was such a simple thing in human anatomy settled in those times. He was more accurately56 acquainted with the intestines57 than any of his predecessors58.
Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1536) was born at Cologne, and was a profound student of what is known as “Occult Philosophy,” a strange jumble59 of astrology, alchemy, cabalism, theology, and the teaching of the so-called “Hermetic Books.” This sort of thing has of late years again become fashionable under the revived name of Theosophy.
He seems to have been sufficiently60 harmless; but as he knew much more of physical science than was considered consistent with good churchmanship in those times, he was persecuted61 by the monk Catilinet, and was forced to fly from place to place.
Johann Reuchlin (1455-1522) was the first great German humanist. His services to learning were chiefly in connection with the restoration of Hebrew and Greek letters in Germany. He worshipped truth as his god, was interested in philosophy, especially in that of the Cabala, in which he sought a theosophy which should reconcile science with religion. His sentiments brought him into conflict with the Inquisition, but by appeal to Rome, after a long and tedious process, the trial was quashed; the consequence being that the lovers of learning and progress banded themselves together against the opponents of learning, and assured the progress of the principles of the Renaissance in Germany. Reuchlin was the author of a celebrated62 work, entitled De Verbo Mirifico.

The Sweating Sickness.
The disease known as the sweating sickness first made its appearance in England in 1485, after the battle of Bosworth. It followed in the rear of Henry’s victorious63 army, and spread in a few weeks from Wales to the metropolis64. It is described by Hecker814 as being “a violent inflammatory fever, which, after a short rigor65, prostrated66 the powers as with a blow; and amidst painful oppression at the stomach, headache, and lethargic67 stupor68, suffused69 the whole body with a fetid perspiration70.”
Holinshed815 describes it thus: “Suddenlie a deadlie burning sweat so assailed71 their bodies and distempered their blood with a most ardent72 heat, that scarce one amongst an hundred that sickened did escape with life; for all in maner as soone as the sweat took them, or within a short time after, yeelded the ghost. Two lord mayors and six aldermen died within one week. Many who went to bed at night perfectly73 well were dead on the following morning; the victims, for the most part, were the robust74 and vigorous. One attack gave no security against a second; many were seized even a third time.” The whole of England was visited by this plague by the end of the year. When it reached Oxford, professors and students fled in all directions, and the University was entirely75 deserted76 for six weeks. Medicine afforded little or no relief. Even Thomas Linacre, the founder of the Royal College of Physicians in 1518, does not in his writings say a word about the disease. As the doctors failed to help the people, their common sense had to suffice them in their need. They decided77 to take no violent medicine, but to apply moderate heat; take little food and drink, and quietly wait for twenty-four hours—the crisis of the disorder78. “Those who were attacked during the day, in order to avoid any chill, immediately went to bed in their clothes; and those who sickened by night did not rise from their beds in the morning; while all carefully avoided exposing to the air even a hand or foot.”816
The five years preceding the outbreak of this epidemic79 had been unusually wet, and inundations had been frequent. It is probable that this was one of the causes which contributed to the unhealthy condition of the atmosphere. The disease partook of the character of rheumatic fever, with great disorder of the nervous system.817 In addition to the profuse80 and injurious perspiration, oppressed respiration81, extreme anxiety, nausea82, and vomiting83, indicating that the functions of the eighth pair of nerves were disturbed, were the general symptoms of339 the malady84. A stupor and profound lethargy indicated cerebral85 disturbance86, possibly from a morbid87 condition of the blood.
Tarantism.
Tarantism was a disease somewhat akin13 to the dancing mania88. Nicholas Perotti (1430-1480) first described it. It was believed to originate from the bite of the Apulian spider, called the tarantula, as it was named by the Romans. Those who were bitten, or who believed themselves to have been bitten, became melancholic89 and stupefied, but greatly sensible to the influence of music. As soon as they heard their favourite melodies, they sprang up and danced till they sank exhausted90 to the ground. Others became hysterical91, and some even died in a paroxysm of tears or laughter. By the close of the fifteenth century Tarantism had spread beyond the boundaries of Apulia in which it originated, and many other cities and villages of Italy were afflicted92 with the mania. Thus when the spider made his appearance the merry notes of the Tarantella resounded93 as the only cure for its bite, or the mental poison received through the eye, and thus the Tarantali cure became established as a popular festival.818
Quarantine, according to William Brownrigg, who wrote in 1771 a book on the plague, was first established by the Venetians in 1484. Dr. Mead94 was probably the source of this information.819
Theories connected with the origin of the soul have continued to occupy the attention of theologians, philosophers, and physicians from the time of Pythagoras to our own day. Up to the ninth century their speculations95 were entirely idle, when Theophilus made his discovery of the capillary96 vessels97 of the male organs—a discovery which was further developed when in the fifteenth century Mattheus de Gradibus first enunciated98 the idea that these organs and the ovaria of birds are homologous structures; and thus originated the knowledge of the germ cells known as the ova of De Graaf.820
The fame of the University of Oxford was so high in the early part of the fifteenth century (1420) that a MS. in the Bodleian, quoted by Anthony à Wood,821 says that other universities were but little stars in comparison with this sun.340 “Other studies excel in some particular science, as Parys, in divinity; Bologna, law; Salerno, physick; and Toulouse, mathematics; but Oxford as a true well of wisdom doth goe beyond them in all these. The bright beams of its wisdom spread over the whole world.”
The practice of medicine became daily more honourable99.
Holinshed says,822 in his description of the people in the Commonwealth100 of England, that “Who soeur studieth the lawes of the realme, who so abideth in the vniuersitie giuing his mind to his booke, or professeth physicke and the liberall sciences—and can liue without manuell labour, and thereto is able and will beare the port, charge and countenance101 of a gentleman, he shall for monie haue a cote and armes bestowed102 vpon him by heralds—and reputed for a gentleman euer after.”
Medicine was a flourishing study at Cambridge, especially at Merton College, in the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries.823
The origin of syphilis in Europe has been the subject of much learned discussion. It appeared with such violence and frequency in the year 1490 in France, Italy, and Spain, that the scourge103 was considered to have only then been introduced into Europe from America.
“Its enormous prevalence in modern times,” says Dr. Creighton,824 “dates, without doubt, from the European libertinism104 of the latter part of the fifteenth century.” It is pretty certain that syphilis had existed in Europe from ancient times. What appeared with so much virulence105 and such wide distribution in 1490 was simply a redevelopment of the malady on a scale hitherto unknown.
