Synopsis
Excerpt from La Syphilis au Xve Siècle
Puis survenait une toux violente qui faisait soulever le coeur et causait des vomissements de matières bilieuses. Ces vomisse ments avaient lieu a la suite de beaucoup d'efforts. Souvent les malades étaient atteints de hoquets convulsifs qui étaient de plus ou moins de durée. Puis, à la surface du corps, apparais saient des taches rougeâtres ou livides; quelques-unes ofi'raient une saillie manifeste. Les malades éprouvaient une chaleur in terne tellement grave qu'ils ne pouvaient souffrir de couvertures et les rej etaient au loin; on eût pris plaisir a se précipiter dans l'eau froide; quelques - uns, mal gardés, pris de délire, se je tèrent dans des puits - La soif était terrible, le sommeil avait disparu ou était agité d'inquiétudes continuelles. Du septième au neuvième jour, il y en avait qui mouraient. Ceux qui pas saient ce terme présentaient des ulcères dans l'intestin, ulcères qui causaient la dysenterie on mourait alors par faiblesse. Ceux qui dépassaient cette période voyaient le mal se jeter dans les bourses ou des abcès survenir dins les membres, aux doigts des pieds et des mains.

The book delves into the disease's various symptoms, including skin lesions, bone pain, and neurological issues, tracing their descriptions through the works of ancient Greek, Roman, and medieval physicians. By positioning syphilis within this broader historical context, the author offers a comprehensive analysis of its evolution and impact on human health, highlighting the significance of understanding its long-standing presence and the importance of ongoing research to combat its effects.
