DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The topic of my book project is the social and cultural history of the case history in pre-modern European medicine. I trace the development of the case history in a long-term perspective, by reconstructing its antecedents in ancient Greek, medieval European and medieval Arabic medicine. The main focus of my project, however, is the rise of a new genre of case narrative in the sixteenth century, and its development into a primary form of medical writing over the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. I trace the intellectual background of the early modern European case narratives by analyzing their development out of previous medical genres and philosophical traditions. I also look at the intellectual impact that the new medical focus on cases had on early modern medicine and, more in general, on early modern scholarly culture. I study the social context of the early modern case narratives by examining the social profile of the medical practitioners who wrote them, and by tracing the way in which the circulation of case narratives was instrumental to the creation of a new kind of medical community. I also look at the case narratives from the point of view of the patients, highlighting their expectations about the tailoring of medical care to individual cases. I trace a long tradition of individualized medical practice, dating back to antiquity, which had new currency and significance in early modern medicine, and was an important factor in the early modern rise of the case narratives. Understanding the social and cultural conditions for the concept and practice of individualized medical care is a primary object of my project. To this goal, I compare the early-modern European collections of case narratives with the case collections that developed in early modern Chinese medicine, showing how they both originated and developed in relation to a medical practice tailored to individual needs.

描述(申请人提供)：我的图书项目的主题是前现代欧洲医学病历的社会和文化史。我通过重建其在古希腊、中世纪欧洲和中世纪阿拉伯医学中的先例，从长期的角度追踪病史的发展。然而，我的项目的主要焦点是一种新的病例叙事体裁在16世纪的兴起，以及它在17世纪和18世纪发展成为医学写作的主要形式。我追溯了早期现代欧洲病例叙事的知识背景，通过分析它们在以前的医学流派和哲学传统之外的发展。我还考察了对病例的新医学对早期现代医学的智力影响，更广泛地说，对早期现代学术文化的影响。我研究早期现代案例叙事的社会背景，通过检查撰写它们的医生的社会概况，并通过追踪案例叙事的循环有助于创建一种新的医疗社区的方式。我还从病人的角度来看病例叙述，强调他们对为个别病例量身定做医疗护理的期望。我追溯了个体化医疗实践的悠久传统，可以追溯到古代，这在早期现代医学中具有新的流行和意义，是病例叙事在早期现代兴起的重要因素。了解个别化医疗概念和实践的社会和文化条件是首要目标 我的项目。为了达到这一目标，我将早期现代欧洲的病例叙事集与早期现代中医中发展起来的病例集进行了比较，展示了它们是如何起源和发展的，与根据个人需求量身定做的医疗实践有关。
