    von Amy Eisen Cislo

    Paracelsus has been called the father of modern chemistry and is legendary for his treatment of syphilis.

  • von Francisco Vazquez Garcia
    81,00 - 239,00 €

    Early modern European thought held that men and women were essentially the same. During the seventeenth century, medical and legal arguments began to turn against this 'one-sex' model, with hermaphroditism seen as a medieval superstition. This book traces this change in Iberia in comparison to the earlier shift in thought in northern Europe.
