Medical complaint of the day goes to John, Lady Cook's servant of Hartwell in Buckinghamshire, who was a patient of Napier's in January 1606: 'fell fro[m] a tree[.] Doth ratle'. #earlymodern #histmed

A 🧵of Galileo's arguments for Heliocentrism,& why he couldn't prove heliocentrism in his time: 1. Tides Galileo was convinced of Heliocentrism by his tide model. Galileo's Dialogo was in fact a modification and extension of his 1616 Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Tides. 🧵1 🧪🏛️⌛🔭📜

Help. Any clever historian can point me to literature on medicines and shapes? The picture below describes "various shapes of plaster according to organs" (ie, the sites of their appl). As you can see, they bear Hebrew and Latin descriptors. Where can I read more? (c1637, Frankfurt) #skystorians
