Summary
[edit]DescriptionA Plague Doctor – from Jean-Jacques Manget, Traité de la peste (1721); University of Lausanne version.png |
English: Image of a plague doctor – frontispiece from Jean-Jacques Manget, Traité de la peste: recueilli des meilleurs auteurs anciens et modernes, et enrichi de remarques et observations théoriques et pratiques : avec une table très ample des matières (Geneva: Philippe Planche, 1721).
The caption reads ‘Habit des Medecins, et autres personnes qui visitent les Pestiferés, Il est de marroquin de levant, le masque a les yeux de cristal, et un long néz rempli de parfums.’ So the image depicts a costume of levant morocco worn by doctors and others when visiting plague victims. The mask’s eyes are of crystal and its long [beak-like] nose is filled with perfumes. Manget gives an extended description on p. 322 of the treatise. |
