The classic work on occupational medicine, Ramazzini's 'De morbis artificum diatriba' (1700), is viewed from the perspective of literary history. The rhetorical term "diatribe" refers to the ancient traditions of Roman satire and Cynic moral philosophy. The literary model for Ramazzini's compendium is found in books of trade (Ständebücher) of the 16th and 17th century, in which the occupations of the time are characterized and satirized according to their individual vices. These literary traditions allow one to read Ramazzini's 'Diatriba' as a critical satire of social relations. In the course of interpreting selected chapters, it will become clear that the occupational illnesses of the working people, besides standing in a causal relationship to the moral illnesses of the privileged, are emblems and allegorical expressions of the Baroque view of life.
从文学历史的角度审视了职业医学的经典著作，拉马齐尼的《论手工业者的疾病》（1700年）。修辞术语“讽刺文”指的是罗马讽刺文学和犬儒主义道德哲学的古老传统。拉马齐尼这部纲要的文学模式可见于16和17世纪的行业书籍（同业公会手册），其中当时的各种职业依据其各自的弊端被加以描述和讽刺。这些文学传统使人们能够将拉马齐尼的《讽刺文》解读为对社会关系的批判性讽刺作品。在对所选章节进行解读的过程中，将会清楚地看到，劳动者的职业病，除了与特权阶层的道德弊病存在因果关系之外，还是巴洛克式人生观的象征和寓言式表达。
