Le traitement par le chalybs chez Johannes Hartmann et Eberhard Gockel. Un remède contre les maladies dufoie et de la rate en Allemagne au XVIIe siècle
[fr] Au début des temps modernes, le chalybs « acier » était réduit en poudre ou en limaille comme médicament, intégré dans diverses préparations. deux médecins allemands du dix-septièmsiècle, plus ou moins attachés au système de paracelse, Johannes hartmann et eberhard Gockel, l’utilisent pour soigner des « obstructions du foie », l’hydropisie, en tant qu’elle était aussi liée à un dysfonctionnement du même organe, ou des affections de la rate. On fournit un exemple d’une telle affection qui touche l’utérus, dont le médecin tente d’expliquer le processus physiologique. une autre utilisation du chalybs concerne la cesssation des règles, considérée comme une des causes du cancer. on étend la perspective d’enquête par un essai de comparaison entre l’utilisation allemande du chalybs et celle enregistrée en Italie et en Angleterre, en abordant la question lexicale que posent des termes comme cancer, cancrosus, cancerus, cancrous, etc. [en] In early modern times, the chalybs « steel » was reduced as a drug in powder or flings to be integrated in various preparations. two German physicians of the seventeenth century, more or less attached to the Paracelsus’ system, Johannes hartmann and Eberhard Gockel, use it to cure « obstructions of the liver », dropsy, as it was also linked to a disturbance of the liver, or diseases of the spleen. We provide an example of the latter in relationship with the uterus, about which the physician tries to explain the physiological process. another resort to chalybs treats with the cessation of the menses, considered as one of the causes of cancer. the inquiry is extended by a comparison between the German use of the chalybs and the latter as it is related in Italy and England, with a lexical questioning about the terms cancer, cancrosus, cancerus, cancrous, etc
