The Conspiracy of Silence: Friedrich Hoffmann and the Governance of Medical Dissent in Early-Eighteenth-Century Prussia
Drawing on previously unpublished archival materials from Berlin and Halle, this article reconstructs why Friedrich Hoffmann fell from royal favour at the Prussian court in 1712 and was replaced by Georg Ernst Stahl. At the centre of the analysis stands a hitherto marginal figure: Andreas von Gundelsheimer, court physician to Frederick I , whose authority rested on cosmopolitan experience, sovereign intimacy, and silence. What emerges is a struct…
Multi-analytical approach for identification of early artificial ultramarine, made by Raimondo di Sangro, in the blue frame on the altar of the Sansevero Chapel Museum in Naples
Identification of a very early production of artificial ultramarine. • Chemical characterization of artificial ultramarine by a powerful multi-technique approach. • Agreement between historical documentation and experimental findings. • Existence of an ultramarine blue created by Raimondo di Sangro recipe. • Innovative methodology of wood decoration with gilding and superimposed pigments. The history of ultramarine, a vivid blue pigment derived f…

The Body of Evidence: Corpses and Proofs in Early Modern European Medicine
When, why and how was it first believed that the corpse could reveal 'signs' useful for understanding the causes of death and eventually identifying those responsible for it? The Body of Evidence. Corpses and Proofs in Early Modern European Medicine, edited by Francesco Paolo de Ceglia, shows how in the late Middle Ages the dead body, which had previously rarely been questioned, became a specific object of investigation by doctors, philosophers, …
Becoming Eusapia: "The rise of the "Diva of Scientists
ArgumentEusapia Palladino (1854-1918) is remembered as one of the most famous mediums in the history of spiritualism. Renowned scientists attended her séances in Europe and in the United States. They often had to admit to being unable to understand the origin of the phenomena produced. Cesare Lombroso, for example, after meeting Eusapia, was converted first to mediumism, then spiritualism. This article will retrace the early stages of her career …
Bonnie Lander Johnson and Eleanor Decamp, Blood Matters: Studies in European Literature and Thought, 1400–1700
Why write a book on conceptions of blood between the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern age? Because it was exactly in the medicine of the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries that the conceptualisations of blood became particularly problematic. As the two editors, Bonnie Lander Johnson and Eleanor Decamp, explain, ‘blood was at once the red fluid in human veins, a humor, a fluid governing crucial Galenic models of bodily change such as plethora …

Playing God: Testing, Modeling, and Imitating Blood Miracles in Eighteenth-Century Europe
In the late Middle Ages, rumors began to spread throughout Europe regarding blood miracles associated with the relics of martyrs. Centuries-old blood, pulverized or solidified and black in color, was said to return to its original bright red color, or else to liquefy or bubble under certain circumstances or on certain dates in the liturgical calendar. With the Reformation, in Protestant countries most of these relics were either destroyed or forg…

Thinking with the Saint: The Miracle of Saint Januarius of Naples and Science in Early Modern Europe
The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the way in which early modem science questioned and indirectly influenced (while being in its turn influenced by) the conceptualization of the liquefaction of the blood of Saint Januarius, a phenomenon that has been taking place at regular intervals in Naples since the late Middle Ages. In the seventeenth century, a debate arose that divided Europe between supporters of a theory of divine intervention and b…
From the laboratory to the factory, by way of the countryside: Fifty years of Italian scientific cinema (1908–1958)
The history of the Italian scientific documentary is not very well known nor, with the exception of the pioneer efforts in cinema, is it contemplated in the more complete studies of the evolution of the genre. This article aims to outline the ground covered by Italian scientific cinema in the first 50 years of its existence, from the pioneering works by Roberto Omegna to the industrial documentaries of the 1950s

Soul Power: Georg Ernst Stahl and the Debate on Generation
