Sexually transmitted diseases -- History
Forms the second Supplement to the Collection of Luisinus, and
contains Works and passages from the following Authors, etc.:
“Ancient Laws of Nüremberg,” “_Matthaeus Landauer_, _Julianus
Tanus_ (de saphati), _Antonius Codrus_, _Anonymi prognosticatio_,
_Jacob. Unrestus_, _Bilibaldus Birkheimer_, _Augustinus Niphus_,
_Hieron. Emser_, _Philipp. Beroaldus_, _Leonard. Giachinus_, _Janus
Cornarius_, _Thomas Rangonus_, _Joan. Anton. Rovellus_ (de patursa),
_Remaclus Fuchs_, _Aloysius Mundella_, _Anton. Fumanellus_, _Hier.
Cardanus_, _Hier. Bonacossus_, _Bernard. Corius_, _Joan. Langius_,
_Joach. Curaeus_, _Joan. Hessus_, _Thom. Erastus_, _Achill. Pirmin.
Gasserus_, _Joan. Crato_, _Thom. Jordanus_ (luis novae Moravia exortae
descriptio,—Description of new Disease and its Moorish Origin).“ Comp.
N. allg. deutsch. Bibl. Vol. IX. p. 183.”
11) _D. Christ. Goth. Gruner_ Spicilegium scriptorum de morbo gallico.
Spic. I-XV. Jenae 1799-1802. 4.
(_D. Christ. Goth. Gruner_, “Selection of Writers on Syphilis”,
Selections, I-XV. Jena 1799-1802. 4to.).
This third Supplement to Luisinus was never regularly published; the
separate Selections were issued as “Programs” in connection with
the Public Announcements of Doctorial Graduations in the Faculty of
Medicine at Jena. Selections I-VI. contain Investigations as to the
History and Nature of the Disease; VII-XI. Passages from the Poems
and Letters of _Conrad Celte_, from a Letter of _Albert Durr_, from
Symphorian. (_Champerius_, Vocabulorum Medicorum Epitoma); XII,
Passages from the Poems of _Henric. Bebelius_, _Hel. Eoban. Hessus_
and a quotation from a Work of _Petr. Parvus_; XIII, XIV. Passage from
_Erasmus_, _Jac. von Bethencourt_, _Jo. Lud. Vives_, _Enric. Cordus_,
_Georg_, _Bersmannus_, _Engelbert_, _Werlichius_, and the Latin
translation of a Fragment from a Book written in the Coptic language
which the Society of Missions had sent to Cardinal Borgia; _Domeier_
communicated it to _Baldinger_ and the latter handed it on to _Gruner_
to make use of in his Collection.
In Selection XV. _Gruner_ makes some objections against the view
expressed by _Hensler_ in his “Program,” “De herpete seu formica
Veterum”. This Collection belongs in part to the Works mentioned in the
next section (“Historians”), but appears to be little known generally,
for it has escaped even _Choulant_ in his usually complete Survey of
the “Scripta Historica de Morbo Gallico”,—Historical Works on Syphilis,
in the Edition of the Poem of Fracastor, pp. 5-9. _Hacker_, p. 20.
mentions it indeed, but appears not even to have seen it, as he gives
nothing more precise as to its contents.
