Description

The physician Christoph von Hellwig (1663–1721) tried to present academic knowledge to the general public in his difficult-to-read specialized literary work. The study describes Hellwig’s strategies for disseminating knowledge, classifies him as a medical eclectic, deduces specialized forms of early modern technical texts, and discusses editorial issues. The work is made more accessible with an annotated bibliography.
