This collection, by an international team of scholars, presents
exciting research currently being undertaken on early modern Italy
which questions the conventional boundaries of medical history.
* Brings together historians of medicine and scholars of
different backgrounds who are re-visiting the field from new
perspectives and with the support of innovative questions and
unexplored sources
* Explores crucial areas of intersection between the territory of
medicine and that of law, politics, religion, art and material
culture and highlights the connections between these apparently
separate fields
* Challenges our understanding of what we regard as medical
activities, medical identities, spaces and objects
* Addresses the study of medical careers, medical identities and
spaces where medical activities were performed e.g. apothecary
shops, courtrooms, convents and museums
