People think of medieval medicine as primitive and §non-academic, and assume modern medicine to §be drastically different in state-led public health §efforts, §in tandem with academic medical theory. But what §about the period between the medieval and the §modern? The author, using archival evidence §from 1580 to 1720 in the Duchy of Braunschweig-§Wolfenbüttel, an important north German territory, §sheds new light on the early modern period in the §German lands. He demonstrates the premodern nature §of the seventeenth century, as the budding state §valiantly tried to limit the economic and political §devastation that epidemics brought, as the central §government needed the §cooperation of local authorities with their own §agendas, and the cooperation of existing §ecclesiastical institutions, in order to §accomplish anything. The plague, a catch-all term §with a definite Christian meaning, ruined economies, §thwarted centralization efforts, and hindered §cameralist intentions. With this study the author §provides a valuable addition to our growing §knowledge of early modern Germany.
