About this book
Sweeping across Renaissance Europe the Great Pox brought to its victims on the continent a slow agonizing and disfiguring death. Based on a wide range of contemporary sources this book is the first detailed account of the new plague-known to later generations as syphilis-and reactions to it in Italy France and Germany where each society struggled to meet the challenges of the frightening new epidemic.
