| Abstract: | Medical Sciences in Early Modern Malta contains a first English translation of Dr. Giuseppe Demarco’s 1760 medical treatise Dissertation on Chocolate as well as related contributions by Charles Savona-Ventura, Charles Cassar, William Zammit, Judge Giovanni Bonello, Maria Giuliana Fenech, and Skye Vassallo. Written by one of Malta’s most voluminous writers and perceptive scholars, Demarco’s Dissertation is a treasure trove of scientific and medical thought current in Malta in the early modern period. This volume, which also features a commentary on the Latin text written by the editor, aims to introduce Dr Giuseppe Demarco (1718-1793) to a modern audience by placing his writings within the broader socio-political, rhetorical, historical, scientific and medical context of early modern Europe. |
