Special issue: “Revisiting Medical Humanism in Renaissance Europe | Revisiter l’humanisme médical dans l’Europe de la Renaissance”
This volume offers fresh insights into a supposedly well-known topic: “medical humanism.” The articles here collected revisit many facets of physicians’ engagement with humanistic endeavours, from translation issues to the critique of ancient texts; they explore the ways medicine penetrated Renaissance culture and literature; they reassess the impact of humanism on medical practice and thought.
