Paracelsus und seine internationale Rezeption in der frühen Neuzeit

Christianity in late medieval Europe, and a more integrated intellectual view of medieval physicians. Readers are warned against considering the case of Arnau as unique and exhausting every possible relationship between medicine and religion. Nor should this historical exploration be restricted to medicine, for a general change in attitude towards nature involved every intellectual area in late medieval Europe. In sum, Ziegler's stimulating monograph has opened up a new and promising area for historical research. His exemplary analysis of the case of Arnau de Vilanova offers other scholars a good model with which to examine from the same perspective other relevant cases of medieval physicians, not only Christian, but also Jewish and Muslim.
