Reponse Des Medecins Au Défi Que Leur Font Les Convulsionnistes... [French]

By Philippe Hecquet

Reponse Des Medecins Au D fi Que Leur Font Les Convulsionnistes... presents a historical perspective on medicine and religious practices in 18th-century France. Written by Philippe Hecquet, this work delves into the medical responses to the challenges posed by convulsionaries, a religious movement known for its ecstatic and convulsive behaviors. This book offers insights into the intersection of medicine, religion, and societal beliefs during a tumultuous period in French history. It explores the medical understanding of convulsions and how medical professionals of the time responded to and interpreted these phenomena within the context of religious fervor. A valuable resource for understanding the dynamics between medical science and religious expression in early modern Europe.
