A note from Sharon on the text:
Dear colleagues,
Thank you for taking the time to read and engage with my work. Some quick remarks to frame the paper: it's a freestanding essay that has been accepted for publication in an edited volume titled Medicine in Early Modern Italy: Between Theory and Practice, ed. Sandra Cavallo and John Henderson (forthcoming from Brepols later this year). There is still time on my end to make revisions, since we're not yet at the proof stage, so any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. More importantly, the paper takes up themes that I'm developing in a book manuscript about the commercialization of medical remedies in late Renaissance Italy (1550-1650). I'd be very grateful for any feedback that would help me think through the issues as well as the presentation of evidence. Thank you!
