| | PLAGUE AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN RENAISSANCE EUROPE |
| | Similarly, during the epidemics, physicians and medical writers in various parts of Europe had to deal with questions of the nature of medical knowledge and the extent of the doctor's ethical responsibility to the ill. Medical consilia from each of the three areas include discussions of each of these issues. | | | Collections of texts and images, since they do represent multiple points of view, are ideal ways to accurately convey the multi-faceted nature of human reality. | | | Yet medical tracts, moral treatises and papal proclamations make clear that for most Europeans there were, within the medieval world view, rational explanations for what was happening. |

| | ORB -- Plague / Black Death course syllabus |
| | The theme should deal with the relationship of plague to a particular individual, group of individuals (manor, village, city), institution (a university, religious order, guild), or attitude (views on death and dying, melancholy, antisemitism). | | | Since an epidemiologist, a medical anthropologist, and I long taught a course on plagues at Dartmouth College, several people suggested that I should here make the course syllabus available for those wanting to work up their own courses on the Black Death. | | | As it happens, though, the late David Herlihy long taught an excellent Black Death course as part of Harvard's so-called Core Curriculum, and a syllabus from the early 1980s follows. |
