About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Hieronymus Fracastor's Syphillis: From the Original Latin, a Translation in Prose of Fracastor's Immortal Poem Ising of that terrible disease, unkwn to past centuries, which attacked all Europe in one day, and spread itself over a part of Africa and of Asia. I will tell what concourse of influences, what occult germs have caused it, how it arose in Latium at the time that the French armies rendered desolate that unhappy country, what reason caused it to be called the French disease. I will tell how in those cruel trials, the genius of man succeeded, with the help of the gods, in discovering the heroic remedy which abated the fury of the plague. I shall interrogate in order to reveal the secret origin of this disease, both the azure plains of the ether and the stars suspended from the vault of the heavens. The field of the unkwn and the mysterious domains of Nature open up before me, and my seduced muse permits herself to be drawn by the learned Sisters of Pamassus. Illustrious Bembo, glory of Italy, if thy master has accorded thee some moments of rest, if he permits thee to leave for an instant the helm of the world and devote a short space of thy time to the muse, deign to cast thy eyes on these verses, all unworthy as they may be of thy genius. My work is but a medical essay, but remember that Apollo himself did t look upon it as derogatory to his dignity divine to cultivate the healing art.
