Mona O’Brien - Essential but Suspect Medical Practitioners: Franzosenärzte in Nuremberg, 1495–1560

Mona O’Brien was the winner of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh's 2019 McCarthy Award for the History of Medicine Research. In 1495 a new pandemic swept through Europe. Those infected suffered from a range of terrible symptoms, from eruptions of boils and pustules to extreme pains in their limbs. On 26 September 1496, the Nuremberg city council recorded that the French pox had arrived in their city and those infected were ‘to be cared for by the learned doctors’. However, the city’s physicians were unsure how to deal with this disease. Eventually, after almost one year, Nuremberg’s council found a medical practitioner who, they believed, efficaciously healed the poxed. This was the city’s first Franzosenarzt. The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh organises public lectures on a range of history of medicine subjects, many of which are available to view on our website. _________________________ Website: https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/heritage Twitter:   / rcpeheritage   Facebook:   / physiciansgallery   Instagram:   / physiciansgallery   TikTok:   / physiciansgallery
