Add to basketCondition: COME NUOVO. Attraverso un'indagine filologicamente orientata, in questo studio si è cercato di mettere in discussione una ricostruzione storica basata sull'assunto di un'analogia tra l'ergotismo, l'ignis sacer e il fuoco di sant'Antonio, mentre si sono ricercati, per la prima volta in maniera sistematica, i differenti significati dell'espressione ignis sacer attraverso lo studio delle trasformazioni semantiche a cui essa andò incontro nel passaggio dall'antichità al Medioevo. La stessa indagine è stata condotta per il fuoco di sant'Antonio, mentre sono stati rivisti, rispetto alla più recente storiografia, alcuni aspetti del culto taumaturgico legato a sant'Antonio - santo eponimo della malattia. Allo scopo, sono state considerate e messe a confronto tra loro, nei diversi momenti storici, fonti di diverso genere, quali trattati medici, testi agiografici, cronache, sermoni, testi letterari, atti notarili, ordinanze pubbliche. cm.15x23,5, pp.XVIII,257, Coll.Micrologus Library ,51.

Le meraviglie del parto. Donare la vita tra Medioevo ed Età moderna

Add to basketRilegato. Condition: new. Torino, 2023; ril., pp. 208, cm 15,5x24.(Einaudi. Storia). Tra Medioevo ed Età moderna dominava l'idea che l'utero della donna potesse celare «meraviglie» che solo all'ultimo momento venivano rivelate. Testimonianze di una mentalità e di un sapere condiviso entro il quale il pensiero scientifico e la tradizione popolare tendevano a fondersi. Venire alla luce è sempre stata una soglia difficile da definire, sfuggente, dolorosa e caricata di pudore e mistero arduo da rivelare. Questo libro si propone di raccontare il modo in cui era descritta e rappresentata la «scena del parto» in Occidente, nel periodo compreso tra l'Alto Medioevo e l'Età moderna fino al XVII secolo - prima cioè della medicalizzazione settecentesca della pratica ostetrica e della nascita delle cliniche. Alessandra Foscati considera un ampio ventaglio di fonti di diverso genere (mediche, giuridiche, religiose, letterarie) che le servono per raccontare le azioni compiute sulla partoriente, oggetto di attenzioni da parte di altre donne, tra cui l'ostetrica, le parenti, le vicine di casa (il parto è un momento corale di grande solidarietà femminile), ma anche di uomini (il marito, il prete e, da un certo momento in poi, il chirurgo). Con sguardo ampio e diacronico, il libro mette in evidenza gli aspetti e gli elementi di lunga continuità, così come i cambiamenti più significativi dell'Età moderna. Libro.

Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. 0. After the discovery of the ergotism epidemics (poisoning caused by ingesting the fungal toxin of rye) and its etiology, eighteenth-century physicians interpreted medieval chronicles in their medical texts in order to recognize the occurrences of ergotic diseases through retrospective diagnosis. They assumed that St. Anthony's fire and ignis sacer ("sacred fire") recorded in medieval texts represented the same disease, ergotism. This interpretative method, lacking a textual basis in the sources, has been incorrectly followed by historians till now. This book examines this historical prejudice through textual analysis, comparing diverse medieval and early modern sources. A striking semantic complexity emerges that changes the concept of St. Anthony's fire and modifies our understanding of diseases in general. This research illuminates aspects of the history of medicine, society, and hospitals.
