- Resum
- The Reformation and the consequent divergence of religious cultures in Europe had profound consequences for intellectual regimes across the continent. Learned medicine was no exception in that respect. One area where we may gauge the effects of this development was in the field of medicina sacra: the application of medical knowledge to the interpretation of biblical passages touching upon the workings of the human body. The engagement of learned medicine with Scripture may be expected to have been differentiated confessionally, seeing the very different position of the Bible had in Catholic and Protestant cultures. This particular branch of physica sacra has hardly been studied, however. The present article probes a very modest sample of medical knowledge brought to bear on biblical interpretation, by the Catholic authors Francisco Valles and Girolamo Bardi, and by the Protestant authors Johannes Mey and Thomas Bartholin. This will serve to open up discussion as to the actual confessional divarication in early modern medicina sacra.
