    Le Groupe de nymphes de Nicolas Poussin (Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum) est une esquisse tirée d’un bas-relief antique représentant des divinités marines. Au verso, on trouve un fragment de prescription médicale décrivant un traitement contre la syphilis, ou morbus gallicus. Les origines inconnues de ce mal francese dont la pandémie a envahi l’Italie du xvie siècle ont inspiré à des auteurs comme Fracastoro dans son poème Syphilis une épidémiologie caractérisée par un diagnostic, et un traitement, issus de la mythologie gréco-romaine. La maladie apparaissait comme une habitation du corps humain par une forme serpentine invisible, la sensation de douleur étant ainsi associée à l’expérience haptique exprimée dans le poème de Jacques Sadolet sur la découverte du Laocoon. Poussin a exploré la représentation de la contagion externe et de l’affliction interne à travers deux peintures : La Peste d’Asdod (musée du Louvre) et Le Martyr de saint Érasme (musées du Vatican). À rebours des spécialistes qui, suivant les propos d’Aby Warburg, parlent de survivance (nachleben) d’un passé païen, cet article analyse les œuvres de Poussin à la lumière des propos de Jean Seznec, dans La Survivance des dieux antiques (1939), sur l’ambivalence de la première modernité vis-à-vis de l’Antiquité. Nicolas Poussins Groupe de nymphes [Nymphengruppe] (Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum) ist eine von einem antiken Flachrelief mit Meeresgottheiten inspirierte Skizze. Ihre Rückseite trägt das Fragment einer ärztlichen Verschreibung, die eine Behandlung gegen Syphilis bzw. Morbus gallicus erläutert. Die unbekannte Ursprung des französischen Leidens, des Mal francese, das im 16. Jahrhundert als Pandemie über Italien hereingebrochen war, hat in Werken wie Fracastoros Gedicht Syphilis zu einer aus der griechisch-römischen Mythologie abgeleiteten Epidemiologie aus der Diagnose schmerzpohafter Symptome und deren Behandlung geführt. Man nahm an, dass bei dieser Krankheit eine unsichtbare schlangenähnliche Gestalt dem menschlichen Körper innewohnte. Dementsprechend war das Schmerzempfinden jener haptischen Erfahrung zugeordnet, die Jacques Sadolet in seinem Gedicht über die Entdeckung des Laokoon zum Ausdruck bringt. Poussin ist der Darstellung der äußerlichen Ansteckung und der innerlichen Krankheit in zwei Bildern nachgegangen: La Peste d’Asdod [Die Pest von Ashdod] (Louvre) und Le Martyr de saint ­Érasme [Das Martyrium des heiligen Erasmus] (Vatikanische Museen). Im Gegensatz zu den Spezialisten, die gegenwärtig in der Tradition Aby Warburgs vom Nachleben einer dämonischen Vergangenheit sprechen, untersucht der vorliegende Artikel Poussins Werke im Licht der von Jean Seznec in Das Fortleben der antiken Götter (1939) konstatierten Ambivalenz der Frühmoderne gegenüber der Antike.

    Leaders in the field of paleopathology have found enough evidence to prove that treponematosis, including syphilis, existed in ancient and medieval Afro-Eurasia, settling a decades-long debate. Yet documentary and artistic evidence to support this important work remains scarce. After summarizing the confirmed cases of treponematosis detected to date, this book turns to contemporary accounts about the death of the English king, Edward IV, that strongly indicate syphilis as the cause. It then considers further evidence suggesting contemporary awareness that elites tended to experience the disease more severely than commoners, and includes numerous examples from medical treatises and artworks that are highly suggestive that both endemic and venereal treponematosis (bejel and syphilis) were present in late medieval Europe. In doing so, the author hopes to spark a conversation not only about the existence of the disease in various places and times, but also its wider impact on premodern society and culture

    This book makes several important contributions to our knowledge of Shakespeare and the Renaissance. First, Bentley's close and thorough analysis of the references to syphilis in Troilus and Cressida, Measure for Measure, and Timon of Athens illustrates how Shakespeare not only transforms a medical topic into imaginative literature, but more specifically it demonstrates how Shakespeare employs this «image cluster» to define and reveal major themes in the plays - sexual commercialism, slander, and usury, respectively. Second, Bentley's investigation of the imagery and themes in these plays provides evidence about their generic identity: rather than view these plays as traditional comedies or even problem plays, they should be looked at as comic or tragic satires. «George Bentley shows that, like AIDS today, syphilis in the Renaissance was (or seemed to be) the new disease that no one could ignore: named after a famous epic explaining the origin of the disease, it captured many a Renaissance writer's imagination, including Shakespeare's. Bentley goes beyond most writers on medical subjects in Shakespeare, who tend to content themselves with showing how much Shakespeare knew of a particular medical problem and thus slip into the crack between medical and literary history. Bentley's study becomes truly and admirably interdisciplinary as he shows that references to syphilis are deeply woven into the fabric of three plays and that the topic is intertwined with some major themes of these plays.» (Winfried Schleiner, University of California, Davis) «'Shakespeare and the New Disease' is a significant addition to the scholarly American University Series, and its author, Greg W. Bentley, is to be congratulated on finding a new way of looking at Shakespeare's imagery which takes the study of it beyond that of Caroline Spurgeon and even the great Wolfgang Clemen.» (Leonard R.N. Ashley, Brooklyn)...
