Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and treatments of the venereal disease, commonly known as syphilis, which devastated Europe after Columbus's return from the Americas in 1492. The author examines the disease's symptoms and its origin, citing evidence that suggests it may have originated in Africa and was brought to Europe via Spain. They also consider the many names the disease has been given throughout history and conclude with an overview of available treatments and a discussion of their efficacy.
