Yet fellow scientists branded him a charlatan and a dangerous quack~and he served time in prison for poisoning his patients. It was from his cell that Leonardo Fioravanti issued an audacious challenge: "Let there be consigned to me alone twenty or twenty~five sick people . and an equal number with similar infirmities to all the physicians of Milan. If I don't cure my patients quicker and better than they do theirs, I'm willing to be banished forever . " In this impeccably crafted tale, noted historian William Eamon chronicles the stranger~than~fiction life of surgeon Leonardo Fioravanti, the original "celebrity physician"~whose saga opens a captivating window onto the scientific and medical practices of the late Renaissance. Eamon points up the unromanticized realities of the age, chronicling a time when the next devastating plague was just a flea bite away . when corsairs roamed the Mediterranean Sea . when barber surgeons bled their patients along with giving them a shave . when one could buy a ticket to view the dissection of a human body . and when scientists practiced a "chemistry~kit~in~the~basement" style of experimentation. The Professor of Secrets reconstructs a fascinating character lost to history and offers us an alternative version of the Scientific Revolution, through the experiences of a man who lived on the margins of great events and Witnessed them with a penetrating vision. In telling this spellbinding story, Eamon offers up a brilliant entry in the genre of popular history.…
