Johann Gregor Gutturff was a plague barber in the Dresden epidemic of 1680, and important records of his life and work have survived. Largely ignored by plague research, the source material provides detailed insight into the quasi-medical work and everyday life of a plague barber. The sources provide information relating to medical diagnosis and treatment; the barber's relationship to his patients; and the public's perception of the barber and his work. There is also a good deal to be learned relating to Johann Gregor Gutturff himself: his self-perception as a person suffering from plague, his experience under the plague regiment, and other opinions and reflections. Last but not least, this study attests to the existence of numerous unevaluated archival materials, which can be systematically analysed to create new avenues of historical description (historiography) and epidemiology.
约翰·格雷戈尔·古图尔夫是1680年德累斯顿鼠疫流行期间的一名鼠疫理发师，他生活和工作的重要记录得以保存。这些资料在鼠疫研究中基本被忽视，却能让人深入了解一名鼠疫理发师的准医疗工作和日常生活。资料提供了有关医学诊断和治疗、理发师与患者的关系以及公众对理发师及其工作的看法等信息。关于约翰·格雷戈尔·古图尔夫本人也有很多值得了解的地方：他作为鼠疫患者的自我认知、在鼠疫管理体制下的经历以及其他观点和思考。最后但同样重要的是，这项研究证明存在大量未被评估的档案材料，可对其进行系统分析，以开辟历史描述（历史编纂学）和流行病学的新途径。
