I must say after having a quick look at William Eamons "The Professor of Secrets, Mystery, Medicine & Alchemy in Renaissance Italy" I'm very interested in learning more about the relationships between science and popular culture.
Author William Eamon characterization of Bolognaese doctor, Leonardo Fioravanti and how the doors opened for him as well as other anarchistic healers makes this read so fascinating. In addition, Mr. Eamons explains how Dr. Fioravanto along side the other "professors of secrets" challenges towards traditional medicine. Must admit their procedures were very riveting. The tools utilized to perform the procedures makes one quiver to the thought, but that's the reality of our history.
Definitely a must a read in my book, check it out for your self at http://www.williameamon.com/. Once your done with this read you will understand the true definition to "professors of secrets". As once stated "it is the story of modern science birth from the bottom up".
Thumbs Up Author~ William Eamon !!
