This article reconstructs the diagnostic act of the French pox in the French-disease hospital of sixteenth-century Augsburg. It focuses on how the participants in the clinical encounter imagined the configuration of the pox and its localization in the human body. Of central importance for answering this question is the early modern conception of physical signs. It has been argued that it was due to a specific understanding of bodily signs and their relationship to a disease and its causes, that disease definition and classification in the early modern period showed a high degree of flexibility and fluidity. This paper looks at how the sixteenth-century theoretical conception of physical signs not only shaped the diagnosis and treatment of the pox but also reflected the overall organization of institutions.
本文重构了16世纪奥格斯堡法国病医院对梅毒的诊断行为。它聚焦于临床问诊中的参与者如何想象梅毒的形态及其在人体中的位置。对于回答这个问题至关重要的是早期现代对身体体征的概念。有人认为，正是由于对身体体征及其与疾病及其病因的关系有特定理解，早期现代时期的疾病定义和分类才表现出高度的灵活性和流动性。本文探讨了16世纪身体体征的理论概念如何不仅塑造了梅毒的诊断和治疗，还反映了机构的整体组织。
