Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epidemics of the Middle Ages is a book about several great diseases which turned up and brought horror to the people of Medieval Europe. The book is divided in three parts: 1) "The Black Death" provides descriptions of the apocalyptic destruction and death rates of the 14th century bubonic plague, which wiped out whole towns in England, France and Italy. Ninety percent of city populations died; 2) "The Dancing Mania" tells of a social phenomenon involving groups of people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. Affecting thousands of people across several centuries, dancing mania was not an isolated event. However, its causes were never explained; 3) "The Sweating Sickness" was a mysterious and contagious disease that struck England and later continental Europe in a series of epidemics beginning in 1485. The last outbreak occurred in 1551, after which the disease apparently vanished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epidemics of the Middle Ages This Volume is one of the Series published by the Sydenham Society, and, as such, originally issued to its members only. The work having gone out of print, this new edition - the third - has been undertaken by the present proprietors of the Copyright, with the view not only of meeting the numerous demands from the class to which it was primarily addressed by its learned author, but also for extending its circulation to the general reader, to whom it had, heretofore, been all but inaccessible, owing to the peculiar mode of its publication, and to whom, it is believed, it will be very acceptable on account of the great and growing interest of its subject matter, and the elegant and successful treatment thereof. The volume is a verbatim reprint from the second edition; but its value has been enhanced by the addition of a paper on "Child-Pilgrimages," - never before translated, - and the present edition is therefore the first and only one in the English language, which contains all the contributions of Dr. Hecker to the History of Medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epidemics of the Middle Ages Dr. Hecker's account of the Black Death, having, in its English translation, met with a favourable reception, I am led to believe that the Dancing Mania, a similar production by the same able writer, will also prove acceptable. Should this be the case, it is my intention to complete the series by translating the history of the Sweating Sickness, theonly remaining epidemic considered by our author to be long to the Middle Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Council of the Sydenham Society having deemed Hecker's three treatises on different Epidemics occurring in the Middle Ages worthy of being collected into a volume, and laid before its members in an English dress, I have felt much pleasure in presenting them with the copyright of the Black Death; in negociating for them, the purchase of that of the Dancing Mania, whereof I could resign only my share of a joint interest; and, in preparing for the press these productions, together with a translation, now for the first time made public, of the Sweating Sickness. This last work, from its greater length, and from the immediate relation of its chief subject to our own country, may be considered the most interesting and important of the series.
Download or read book Black Death written by Robert S. Gottfried and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating work of detective history, The Black Death traces the causes and far-reaching consequences of this infamous outbreak of plague that spread across the continent of Europe from 1347 to 1351. Drawing on sources as diverse as monastic manuscripts and dendrochronological studies (which measure growth rings in trees), historian Robert S. Gottfried demonstrates how a bacillus transmitted by rat fleas brought on an ecological reign of terror -- killing one European in three, wiping out entire villages and towns, and rocking the foundation of medieval society and civilization.
