Hardcover. Zustand: New. Born in Bologna in 1517, Leonardo Fioravanti was both acclaimed and derided for his unconventional style of medicine, which pointed the way to modern approaches but led to his imprisonment following accusations of 'poisoning' his patients. Eamon explores the late-Renaissance underworld of science through Fioravanti's career, with evidence drawn from the abundant and self-aggrandizing writings of this exuberant doctor and zealous experimenter.…

Yet fellow scientists branded him a charlatan and a dangerous quack~and he served time in prison for poisoning his patients. It was from his cell that Leonardo Fioravanti issued an audacious challenge: "Let there be consigned to me alone twenty or twenty~five sick people . and an equal number with similar infirmities to all the physicians of Milan. If I don't cure my patients quicker and better than they do theirs, I'm willing to be banished forever . " In this impeccably crafted tale, noted historian William Eamon chronicles the stranger~than~fiction life of surgeon Leonardo Fioravanti, the original "celebrity physician"~whose saga opens a captivating window onto the scientific and medical practices of the late Renaissance. Eamon points up the unromanticized realities of the age, chronicling a time when the next devastating plague was just a flea bite away . when corsairs roamed the Mediterranean Sea . when barber surgeons bled their patients along with giving them a shave . when one could buy a ticket to view the dissection of a human body . and when scientists practiced a "chemistry~kit~in~the~basement" style of experimentation. The Professor of Secrets reconstructs a fascinating character lost to history and offers us an alternative version of the Scientific Revolution, through the experiences of a man who lived on the margins of great events and Witnessed them with a penetrating vision. In telling this spellbinding story, Eamon offers up a brilliant entry in the genre of popular history.…
