by Ulrich von Hutten

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.

About the author

Ulrich von Hutten was a German scholar, poet, and hereditary knight. As an early humanist and an outspoken critic of the Roman Catholic Church, he was a key figure in the Lutheran Reformation. He was crowned Poet Laureate by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I on 15 August 1517 in recognition of his peerless mastery of Latin.

His contributions to the pseudonymous collaboration Epistolæ Obscurorum Virorum ("Letters of Obscure Men") are considered among "the most masterly sarcasms in the history of literature." His poem Arminius, inspired by the recently recovered Annals of Tacitus, established the Cheruscan chief as an enduring symbol of the German character.
