  • A Plott to have his nose and eares cutt of”

    Open AccessWinfried SchleinerARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2009

    That Gaspar Schoppe, author of several stinging publications against James I, was brutally attacked in a Madrid street in 1614 has often been dismissed as the victim’s larmoyant exaggeration of a mere licking, although Schoppe claimed that it was an attempt on his life. But there is a letter written from Madrid to the Archbishop of Canterbury speaking of the episode as a planned attempt to cut off Schoppe’s nose and ears. While some modern biblio…

  • Early Modern Green Sickness and Pre-Freudian Hysteria

    Winfried SchleinerARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine2009

    In early modern medicine, both green sickness (or chlorosis) and hysteria were understood to be gendered diseases, diseases of women. Green sickness, a disease of young women, was considered so serious that John Graunt, the father of English statistics, thought that in his time dozens of women died of it in London every year. One of the symptoms of hysteria was that women fell unconscious. The force of etymology and medical tradition was so stron…

  • Melancholy and the Care of the Soul

    Winfried SchleinerARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2008

    Melancholy is rightly taken to be a central topic of concern in early modern culture, and it continues to generate scholarly interest among historians of medicine, literature, psychiatry and religion. This book considerably furthers our understanding of the issue by examining the extensive discussions of melancholy in seventeenth- and eighteenth- century religious and moral philosophical publications, many of which have received only scant attent…

  • Linguistic "Xenohomophobia" in Sixteenth-Century France

    Winfried SchleinerARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2003

    Henri Estienne (also Henricus Stephanus, called le Grand) is one of the most important printers, editors, dictionary writers, philologists, and religious controversialists of the sixteenth century. This essay argues that allegations of unmanliness and sodomy against (Catholic) Italians - in short, forms of xenohomophobia - inform not only his writings that participate in the post-Reformational controversies of his day, but they enter deeply also …

  • A History of Madness in Sixteenth-Century Germany (review)

    Winfried SchleinerARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2001

    Although the topic of melancholy and madness is currently one of the most thoroughly studied subjects of the early modern period, this study by a major historian still breaks new ground. The restriction of Erik Midelfort's research to sixteenth-century Germany might seem to indicate a narrowness of focus, but this is only superficially so. The book contains a multitude of primarily thematic studies: the history of Saint Vitus's dance, the notion …

    Winfried SchleinerARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2000

    This very detailed study of the sixteenth-century (anti-)Aristotelian philosopher Bernardino Telesio demonstrates the institutional and conceptual proximity of philosophy and medicine in that period. For instance, the ancient dietary controversy over whether it is better to drink hot or cold fluids erupts anew because [End Page 597] what in Aristotelian tradition had been the basic notion "fire is dry" is reversed in the Telesian tradition to "fi…

    This essay traces the opposition of the Galenic notion of a homology between male and female genitalia (the "one-sex model") and identifies the French physician Andre Dulaurens as the first outspoken opponent. After Dulaurens, the German physician Johann Peter Lotichius makes the opposition to that model more clearly an argument that may be called "feminist

    The Medical World of Early Modern France recounts the history of medicine in France between the sixteenth century and the French Revolution. Physicians, surgeons and apothecaries are centre-stage, and the study provides an overview of long-term changes in their ideas about medicine and their craft. Other denizens of the medical world - quacks, charlatans, wise women, midwives, herbalist and others - are also brought into the analysis, which is se…

  • Genetics and "Race" in The Merchant of Venice

    Martin Japtok, Winfried SchleinerARTICLELiterature and medicine1999

    This essay argues that the influence of medical pseudo-science in a number of passages in The Merchant of Venice is much stronger than Shakespeare scholars generally acknowledge. Early modern notions of genetics in the play have a bearing on its conceptualization of "race," which, as the play shows, was a concept in the process of formation
