About the book
"This history recounts the adventures of ingenious Italian medical quacks who were sought after and imitated all over Europe, relying on research into Italian State Archives, judicial proceedings, newspaper articles, and books and manuscripts from all over the world. The reasons for the charlatans' success, the placebo effect, and the nature of the doctor-patient relationship are topics covered."--BOOK JACKET.
