Papal Physicians is a book written by James J. Walsh that delves into the history of the medical professionals who have served the popes throughout the centuries. The book explores the lives and work of these physicians, who were often prominent figures in the medical community of their time, and how they interacted with the papacy and the wider world of medicine. Walsh examines the various medical conditions and ailments that afflicted the popes over the years, and how their physicians treated them, often using unconventional methods. The book also sheds light on the political and social contexts in which these physicians operated, and how their work was influenced by the prevailing beliefs and practices of their era. Overall, Papal Physicians is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of medicine, religion, and politics, and the role that physicians have played in the history of the Catholic Church.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Popes and Science the History of the Papal Relations to Science During the Middle Ages and Down to Our Own Time, by James J.
