Historical Synopsis of Views as to the True Origin of Syphilis.” Jena
29 Aug. 1807. pp. 26. 8vo.).
The Author decides for the American origin, but without adducing
anything fresh.

The Author maintains the antiquity of Venereal Disease, but denies
that the Malady which prevailed amongst the French at the siege of
Naples was true Syphilis; he supposes it rather to have been a fever
resembling the Plague accompanied by pustulous eruptions. A later
Paper in the same Periodical, 1818. vol. IX. pp. 465-495., contains
the result of his observations in Spain during the War, so far as they
confirm his earlier views.

Century was not “Lues Venerea”, but “Sibbens”. Comp. _Ehrhardt_, Med.

Maintains the antiquity of the Disease, citing again the passages
already known. The Ancients, he says, confounded Syphilis with Leprosy;
the Immorality prevailing at the end of the XVth. Century and the
arrival of the Moors in Italy were the original cause and occasion
of the general extension of the Disease. According to _Choulant_ in
_Pierer_, Allgem. Med. Annalen, Year 1825. p. 237., _Prof. Heinrich
Robbi_ was the Author of this Dissertation.

Contains 9 letters as follows: I. On the common opinion of the American
origin of the Venereal Disease,—to Signor _C. Sprengel_, pp. 7-27,
in which the American Source and _Girtanner’s_ Arguments for it are
confuted. He cites here in the Notes, p. 238, an Italian poem of
George Summaripa, a Patrician of Verona (1496), not previously known,
in which the Disease is represented as having come from Gaul; which a
letter of _Nicolaus Scillatius_ re-printed on p. 236 confirms. This
had already been given in _Brera_, Giornale di Medicina, August 1817,
vol. XII. p. 123, and borrowed and made use of by _Huber_, p. 37.,
and _Sprengel_, Geschichte der Medicin, 3rd ed., vol. II. p. 701., in
correction of _Choulant’s_ statement, as cited below p. 238.—II. Of
Discharge from the Penis (Scolagione) or Gonorrhœa of the Ancients,—to
Signor _Christ. Goff. Gruner_[408], shows that the Gonorrhœa of the
Ancients was no mere Spermatorrhœa, but actual Gonorrhœa (Clap) pp.
31-48.—III. Of Discharge from the Penis (Scolagione) or Gonorrhœa of
the Middle Ages,—to Signor _F. Swediaur_, pp. 51-73. Shows that actual
Gonorrhœa existed in the Middle Ages.—IV. Of Ulcers, Buboes and other
such Affections of the Secret Parts in Antiquity,—to Signor _Nic.
Barbantini_, pp. 77-92.—V. Of the true Venereal Disease or Syphilis,—to
Signor _Anton Scarpa_, pp. 95-119. Survey of the Venereal Disease to
the end of the XVth Century and of its changes, with special reference
to the sympathy of the Genital organs and those of the Throat.—VI. On
certain modern Forms of Disease referable to the Venereal Taint,—to
Signor _Cullerier_, pp. 123-144. Considers the Brünn Sickness in the
year 1577, the “Sibbens, Amboina pox, Canadian Disease,” “Scherlievo”
and “Falcadina”.—VII. Of certain ancient Forms of Disease referable to
the Venereal Taint,—to Signor _Dr. Cambieri_, pp. 148-178. In this are
more exactly described the “Yaws”, “Pians”, “Judham”, Mentagra, Malum
mortuum and Morphea, and the near relationship of leprosy with Venereal
Disease hinted at.—VIII. Of the Origin of the Venereal Disease,—to
Signor _Filip. Gabr. Hensler_, pp. 182-208. The Author considers the
Disease endemic in Africa, whence it came into Italy with the Moors,
and to America with the Negro slaves.—IX. On the public Hygiene of
Venereal Maladies,—to _Franc. Aglietti_, pp. 212-235. Chronological
Survey of Legislation as to Brothels. The book ends, pp. 230-303, with
Annotations in which he gives specially the documentary proofs on which
his conclusions rest, and that too arranged according to the numbers
given in the text.
An Abstract of this Work, rare apparently in Germany, is given by
_Choulant_ in _Pierer’s_ Allgem. Med. Annalen, Year 1825. pp. 236-244.

Diseases.” Stuttgart and Tübingen 1825. pp. 124. 8vo.).
The Author specially combats the American origin, and to this end
examines particularly the Spanish Chroniclers. Without exactly wishing
to arrive at a definite conclusion for or against, he contents himself
with exposing the inconsistencies in the reasoning of the supporters of
either view.—Commendatory notices of the Book are found in: Heidelberg

_Hacker_, p. 164, says: “would seem to contain much of interest.” We
have not been able to obtain a sight of this Work; however it appears
to quite agree with what _Dubled_ has repeated in a later work,
“Statement of the new Doctrine as to Venereal Disease,” transl. from
the French. Leipzig 1830. pp. VI-VIII and pp. 1-10. He says, p. V of
the Preface,—“Finally, inasmuch as the systematic historical study of
the Venereal Disease seems also to confirm the truth of my view, I
have prefixed to this Work the Historical Survey, which at the time
of its composition I read before the Surgical Section of the Royal
Academy of Medicine. A Report that should have been rendered by it
never appeared.” Then follows a Preface belonging to the Historical
Survey, subscribed—Paris, October 1823, to which year accordingly must
be assigned the above-mentioned Work. But the whole publication, as may
be supposed from the scanty number of pages, is more than superficial.

Isis. Year 1828. Vol. II. pp. 728-731).
The Author, a Jewish Physician, seeks to prove that the Moors did not
suffer from Venereal Disease, because they as Martyrs of their Faith,
could not therefore be dissolute, immoral men, because (Deuteronomy,
Ch. 33. v. 17.) excesses in love, especially with Gentiles (Nehemiah
Ch. X. vv. 29, 30) are strictly forbidden, finally because _Don Isac
Abarbanel_, born 1437, in his Exposition of the Prophets (printed
1650), on Zachariah Ch. XIV. v. 12. says expressly, that the Disease
“Zarfosim” occurs only amongst the “Goiem” (Gentiles) and not amongst
the Jews. The Author promises eventually to issue a Treatise on
Syphilis which he has in hand on a larger scale; but to our knowledge
it has not appeared.

Venereal Disease in Europe.” In _Hecker’s_ Lit. Annalen 1826. Vol. IV.
pp. 371-374).
The contribution is a passage from the following book: “Libro que
trata de las cosas, que traen de las Indias Occidentales, que sirven
al uso de medicina, y de la orden qui se ha de tener en tomar la Rayz
de Mechoacan etc. Hecho y copilado por el Doctor _Monardes_, medico

East Indies and used in Medicine, and of the Course to be observed in
taking the Mechoacan Root, etc. Written and compiled by _Dr. Monardes_,
Physician of Seville. 1565). This work treats of the drug “Guajac”,
and lays down the American origin of Venereal Disease as confidently
as if the Author had been on the spot when it happened! The value of
the whole argument may be judged from this passage, “Our Creator willed
that from that same country whence Venereal Disease (el mal de las
buvas,—the malady of buboes) came, should come also the Means of its
cure.”

The first Part of this Work, one displaying great care and diligence,
contains the History of Gonorrhœa, Swellings of the Testicles, Ulcers
and warty Growths in the Urethra, Scalding Urine, Strictures, Ulcers
and Fistulae in the Perinœum, so far as these subordinate affections
were observed _before_ the appearance of the Venereal Disease; the
second Part the History of the Ulcers or Shankers in the Sexual
organs, particularly after coition where infection is suspected, down
to the most recent time. The promised Critical History of the Venereal
Disease with reference to its appropriate Treatment has unfortunately
never yet appeared, though only then can we estimate the justice of
many of the Author’s views and statements touching the local Symptoms.
Would that an end might be put to the delay!

(_Math. Jaudt_, “On Syphilis amongst Ancients and Moderns.” Medical
Graduation Exercise. Munich 1834. pp. 23. 8vo.).
In this somewhat cursory Treatise the Author assumes with the English
writers a “Lues antiqua” (ancient Contagion), which manifested itself
only through affections of the Genitals of a similar nature, and a
“Lues universalis” (general Contagion) since 1494-1496, both of which
now occur; hence he would deduce the distinction in the treatment with
Mercury,—Mercury not being necessary for the former, but required for
the latter.

(_Max Ludov. Schrank_, “On the Antiquity and Origin of the Venereal
Disease.” Graduation Exercise. (Ratisbon Bavaria) 1834. pp. 24. 8vo.).
The Author seeks to prove by citation of the familiar passages of
the ancient writers: (1) “luem veneream antiquissimis temporibus
jamjam cognitam itidemque contagiosam, sub finem saeculi XV. majorem
malignitatis gradum, conditionibus secundis concurrentibus, ostendisse,
ideoque, (2) Americam ejusdem patriam non esse habendam” (that the
Venereal Disease was already known in the most ancient times, that
towards the end of the XVth. Century, under the concurrence of
favouring conditions, it exhibited a greater degree of malignancy;
consequently that America is not to be considered its place of origin.
He seems especially to have made use of _Huber’s_ Work.

Contains valuable notices on the history of Venereal disease, specially
dealing with Gonorrhoea in Antiquity; cites several very important
passages from _Galen_ previously overlooked, and by their help
maintains the antiquity of the Disease. The matters dealt with in this
Treatise had already been gone into by the same Author in the Seventh
Volume of his Handbook to Medical Clinics.

To _Astruc_ belongs the credit of having been the first who began to
collect on a comprehensive plan and to sift the material for a history
of the Venereal Diseases that had been accumulating for Centuries. His
historical results are imperfect and one-sided, in so far as they are
directed solely to maintaining the American origin; but at the same
time his chronological Review of the Writers from 1475 to 1740 is even
now almost indispensable, as he gives comprehensive Extracts from all
the Works that were at his disposal, that fill the whole of the second
Volume of his Book. Down to _Hensler_, almost all later Historians owe
to him their Bibliography of Authorities, though they are not always
honest enough to specify the mine from which they drew their knowledge.
According to _Bertrandi_, “Treatise on the Venereal Diseases”, transl.
from the Italian by _C. H. Spohr_, Vol. I. p. 44. Note k., _Astruc_
has copied almost the whole of the first book of this Work, without
naming the Author(!?), from: _Charles Thuillier_, “Observations sur
les maladies vénériennes avec leur cure sûre et facile, lettres sur les
accidents, l’origine et les progrès de la vérole,” (Observations on the

In the _First_ Volume the Author gives, Bk. I. Pt. 1. pp. 1-57, a
history of the Venereal disease, in which he employs every possible
artifice and perversion of the facts in his endeavour to prove the
American origin of the Disease. In the _Second_ and _Third_ Vols. (in
which the pages run on continuously, pp. 808) he gives a general review
of all the Works that have appeared on Venereal disease from 1595 to
1793, the total—including Supplements—amounting to 1912. As far as
_Astruc_ served, he has often translated him word for word,—without
declaring the fact. But as only those Works which support his own
views, in particular the American origin, are estimated with any
accuracy, while the rest are summarily disposed of,—often without any
precise account of the Contents, it is properly speaking solely for the
sake of the Titles that the Review as a whole is of use to Historians.
A Continuation of this Bibliographical review is found in:
_Heinr. August Hacker_, Literatur der syphilitischen Krankheiten vom
Jahr 1794 bis mit 1829, etc. Leipzig 1830. 264 S. gr. 8. (_Heinr.
August Hacker_, “Literature of the Venereal Disease from the year 1794
down to and including 1829, etc.” Leipzig 1830. pp. 264. large 8vo.).
Unfortunately a major portion of the Books, particularly of the foreign
ones, did not actually come into the hands of the Author, so that he
was forced often to content himself with merely citing the Titles;
and in such as are more precisely designated, he omits, as indeed is
the case also with _Girtanner_, to give the length (pagination, or
number of sheets) of the Works, from which at any rate a relative
judgement might be made as to their completeness. Then since its
publication almost another decade has passed, and the continuation of
his Collection is still awaited on the part of the Author; consequently
a second edition, carried on so as to cover the latest period, one
that has been very prolific in Literary productions, is both necessary
and desirable, and in it what is deficient might easily be supplied.
Again from earlier Literature many additions might well be made and
supplements giving what was overlooked or only cursorily noted by
_Girtanner_. However would it not on the whole be more expedient to
undertake an entirely new Work dealing with the whole Literature of
Venereal Disease, but on other principles than those of _Girtanner_?
Indeed for such a task the use of a Library such as Göttingen would be
required. It would undoubtedly be of very great utility.

Finally we have to mention the Writers on the History of Medicine who
have treated more or less fully the History of the Venereal Disease. To
this class belong in especial:

Coulet. Leide 1727. 8. T. III. S. 192-277. (_J. Freind_, “History of
