Magical and Natural Amulets in Early Modern Plague Treatises

Original language description

The paper deals with amulets as they appear in various treatises about plague published in Europe between 1480 and 1730. It shows that there were two distinct types of amulets - a galenic one and magical one. While the former one was considered to be a natural remedy against plague (and its workings were understood within the ordinary aristotelian framework) the latter was deemed dangerous, unnatural and diabolical.
