venereal disease

Venereal disease came to Europeans’ attention in a new way in the late fifteenth century, when what the English were to call the French Pox first appeared in Europe during a siege of Naples. This ailment, which bears some relation to our modern diagnosis of syphilis, ravaged Europe, killing people quickly and fearsomely. Other disease spread by sexual relations were also known, although they do not always map well onto modern categories.
