Abstract

"This collection offers readers a guide to analyzing historical texts and objects using a diverse selection of sources in early modern medicine. It provides an array of interpretive strategies while also highlighting new trends in the field.Each chapter serves as a study of a different type of source, including the benefits and limitations of that source and what it can reveal about the history of medicine. Contributors provide practical strategies for locating and interpreting sources, putting texts and objects into conversation, and explaining potential contradictions. A wide variety of sources, including account books, legal records, and personal letters, provide new opportunities for understanding early modern medicine and developing skills in historical analysis. Together, the chapters highlight emerging methodologies and debates, while covering a range of themes in the field, from reproductive health to hospital care to household medicine. With wide geographical breadth, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers looking to understand how to better engage with primary sources, as well as readers interested in early modern history and the history of medicine"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Ein wichtiger Teil der historisch gewachsenen Kunstsammlung Dubs-Huwyler ist eine rund 100 Stück umfassende Kollektion von Glasgemälden. Sie wird in einem herrschaftlichen Gebäude im schwyzerischen Steinen aufbewahrt und gehört zweifellos zu den bedeutendsten und umfangreichsten privaten Glasgemäldesammlungen in der Schweiz. Schwerpunkte bilden die Innerschweizer, die Zürcher sowie die Ost- und Nordostschweizer Glasmalkunst vom frühen 16. bis in die erste Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Weitere künstlerische Höhepunkte sind eine Gruppe von frühneuzeitlichen niederländischen Glasgemälden insbesondere mit Vogel- und Insektendarstellungen. Den jüngsten Sammlungsschwerpunkt bilden mehrheitlich schweizerische Kopien und Neuschöpfungen von der zweiten Hälfte des 19. bis ins 20. Jahrhundert. One important part of the Dubs-Huwyler art collection, which has grown over time, comprises around 100 works of stained glass. These are kept in a magnificent building in Steinen in the canton of Schwyz, and undoubtedly form one of the most important as well as extensive private collections of stained glass in Switzerland. The focus is on glass from central Switzerland, Zurich, and eastern and north-eastern Switzerland from the early 16th to the first half of the 18th century. Other artistic highlights include a group of early modern Dutch paintings on glass, depicting birds and insects in particular. The collection’s most recent focus is on Swiss copies and new designs from the second half of the 19th to the 20th century.
