Making Physicians guides the reader through the ancient sources, textbooks, lecture halls, gardens, dissecting rooms, and patient bedsides in the early decades of an important  medical school. Standard pedagogy combined book learning and hands-on experience. Professors and students embraced Galen’s models for integrating reason and experience, and cultivated humanist scholarship and argumentation, which shaped their study of chymistry, medical botany, and clinical practice at patients' bedsides, in private homes and in the city hospital. Following Galen’s emphasis on finding and treating the sick parts, professors correlated symptoms and the evidence from post-mortems to produce new pathological knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Illustrations    Introduction: Bodies of Knowledge in the Late Renaissance   1\tFollowing Galen to Find the Seats and Causes of Disease   2\tDisease Displayed in Private, Public, and Clinical Anatomies   3\tReconstructing Intellectual Microcosms   4\tPedagogy and Practices   5\tMaking Medicines from Books, Gardens, and Chymistry   6\tExperience, Empiricism, and Experiment   7\tPlan of Chapters    1 Contexts for the Medical Curriculum   1\tMedicine for a Young Republic in the 1575 Founding   2\tUniversity, City, State   3\tThe Harvest of Trials from Earlier Sixteenth-Century Academic Medicine   4\tExperience and Experiment in Early Leiden Mixed Mathematics and Engineering   5\tThe Humanist, Practical Education of Medical Professors   6\tEarly Medical Curricula   7\tConclusions    2 Ideals of Learning and Reading   1\tIdeals of Curing Bodies by Reason and Experience   2\tThe Virtues of Disputation for Learning and Exams   3\tStudy Guides for Sharpening the Ingenium (Wit) of the Brain   4\tStudent Life and the Vices of Embodied Learners   5\tConclusions    3 Lecturing about Philosophical Bodies   1\tCore Philosophy and Theory   2\tBasic Principles vs. Hope for Certainty   3\tGalen on Faculties, Matter, and Souls   4\tGalen among Ancient Sources on “Powers” or Faculties   5\tEarly Modern Medical Discussions of Faculties   6\tConclusions    4 Learning to Make Medicines: Reading, Viewing, Tasting, and Testing   1\tFire and Transmutation   2\tChymical Teaching in the Lecture Hall   3\tCultivating Knowledge and Medicinal Simples in the Garden   4\tNaturalists Knowing Plants by Experience and Experiment   5\tGod’s Medicines and Models of Making Trials   6\tGalen’s Models for Knowing Drugs and Making Trials   7\tMedieval and Early Modern Debates over Sensing and Knowing Medicinal Faculties   8\tMaking and Knowing Medicines with Johannes Heurnius’ New Method   9\tConclusions    5 Knowing and Treating the Diseased Body   1\tThe Malfunctioning Seats of Diseases   2\tSeats of Diseases after Galen   3\tKnowing Material and Other Causes of Diseases   4\tTeaching Students to Treat the Faulty Part   5\tLocalizing Diseases in Students’ Disputations   6\tConclusions    6 Disease Displayed in Public and Private Anatomies   1\tAnatomy Serving the Practice of Physicians and Surgeons   2\tPiety and Decorum   3\tDisease Displayed in Public and Private Anatomies   4\tGeneration and Murder   5\tCutting to the Causes of Disease and Death   6\tConclusions    7 Innovation and Clinical Anatomies   1\tThe Pulse Controversy and Anatomical Innovation   2\tEarly Clinical Training and Anatomies   3\tFounding Regular Bedside Learning at the Hospital   4\tCauses, Histories, and Therapy Displayed in Diseased Bodies   5\tDiseases and Remedies from Across the Dutch Empire   6\tTracking Diseases by Clinical Signs and Post-Mortem Evidence   7\tMaking New Knowledge of Phthisis (Consumption)   8\tLater Leiden Pedagogy and a New Theory of Phthisis   9\tConclusions    Conclusion: A Microcosm of Medical Learning and Practices    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210824606039,"sku":"9789004465114","price":114.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/making-physicians-tradition-teaching-and-trials-at-leiden-university-1575-1639-9789004465114","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
