After all, 18 months after the outbreak of the pandemic, vaccines were available and vaccinated people could already enjoy more freedom than unvaccinated people. But everyone who attended the Wolfenbüttel conference in person had to be trained to put on a mask, depending on the situation. And the ‘coffee breaks’ mentioned in the conference programme had nothing to do with drinking coffee. Pressing the button on a thermos flask was an absolute no-go back then. Instead, we limited ourselves to cold drinks from handy bottles, which everyone had to open for themselves.<br />My historical thinking about how-to books in this extraordinary time quickly led me to plague treatises published in the 16th and 17th centuries. Although most of the treatment methods presented in the plague treatises were of little medical benefit, their style shows that the authority to order anything at all created trust and welded society together; a mechanism that also worked in the difficult times of COVID-19. The plague instructions were not entirely wrong in terms of content, even if nobody knew exactly how the plague developed and spread at the time. It was important to avoid crowds of people and anything the plague sufferer came into contact with. The disinfectant effect of vinegar was also known early on. The plague treatises show how ‘modern’ the contemporaries of the 16th century already were and how ‘archaic’ we still (have to) act in the 21st century when nature challenges us.</p> <p>See on plague tracts my introductory article “<a href="https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/06/Can-There-Be-Ever-Clueless-Advice-Books-1.pdf">Can There Ever Be Clueless Advice Books</a>” for the Brill volume “<a href="https://brill.com/display/title/69104">Tracts of Action</a>”, which will be published at the end of July 2024.</p> <p style="text-align: right"><em>Stefan Laube</em></p> <hr/><div class="citation"><p><span class="citation-title">OpenEdition suggests that you cite this post as follows:</span><br/>Stefan Laube (June 4, 2024).
