Joint diseases in antiquity and the Renaissance were generally known by the all-encompassing term, gout (podagra or gotta). Only in later centuries was there a differentiation in the types of joint diseases, distinguishing gout in the modern sense from other arthritic and rheumatic disorders. The present article illustrates one pictorial representation of joint disease from the early sixteenth century, a case that seems typical of gouty tophi.
在古代和文艺复兴时期，关节疾病通常被统称为痛风（痛风或痛风石）。只有在后来的几个世纪，才对关节疾病的类型进行了区分，将现代意义上的痛风与其他关节炎和风湿病区分开来。本文展示了一幅来自 16 世纪早期的关节疾病图片，这个病例似乎是典型的痛风石。
