Casanova, history of medicine

Abstract

Recognised for his adventurous existence throughout all of Eighteenth-century Europe but it should be stressed that, besides all of his gallant adventures, Casanova gives in his Memoirs a large place for medicine. Three main chapters will detail this little-known aspect of the master seducer: Casanova's diseases, Casanova and Medicine, and Casanova and physicians.
