Summary "Encomium artis medicae" by Desiderius Erasmus is a scholarly treatise written in the early 16th century. This book celebrates the medical profession, praising the importance and dignity of doctors and the healing art. Erasmus, known for his humanist ideals, uses this work to reflect on the nobility of medicine against the backdrop of various ancient and contemporary contexts. In this treatise, Erasmus argues for the significance of medicine as an essential and divine profession that preserves life and health. He emphasizes the historical reverence for medical practitioners, noting that many have been regarded as divine figures due to their ability to heal. Erasmus makes comparisons between medicine and other arts, asserting that while each discipline contributes to human excellence, none is as vital as medicine, which directly impacts human life. He discusses the challenges of the medical profession, including the complexities of human health and the necessity for doctors to navigate diverse illnesses and remedies. Eventually, the book serves both as a homage to medicine and a call for respect and appreciation for the medical profession, encouraging future practitioners to embrace this noble calling.
