Faith and religion are part and parcel of the field of medicine and of healing practices. For in times of illness, we are in need of faith. We might express our faith in those who aim to heal us as we recognize and trust their ability to do so. In some settings, both today and in the past, such faith takes on explicit spiritual and religious meanings. It is performed through rituals and shaped by belief systems, shared (or not) between patients, doctors and other caregivers. In other settings, it is the belief in science or other concepts of medicine that drives patients’, caregivers’ and scientists’ search for cures and well-being. Moreover, outside the biomedical domain, hope for improvement drives the search for alternative modes of healing and self-healing, practices often strongly imbued with faith, rituals and conversion narratives. The 2021 EAHMH conference places these questions of trust, belief, religion, hope and devotion centre stage in the history of medicine and health.
International Symposium: Four unpublished atlases of myology from the Dutch Golden Age. A multidisciplinary approach to the drawings of Johannes van Horne and Marten Sagemolen
Dates: Friday 18 and Saturday 19 June 2021
Organized by the BIU Santé Médecine, Université de Paris. Working languages: French and English. Online (Zoom). Free of charge with prior registration. Contact: info-hist@biusante.parisdescartes.fr

In June 2016, four large atlases containing two hundred and fifty anatomical drawings made around 1654-1660 in Leiden (Netherlands) were identified at the BIU Santé. Produced by the painter Marten Sagemolen (ca. 1620-1669) under the direction of the anatomist Johannes van Horne (1621-1670), they systematically describe the muscles of man. This impressive collection had been lost since the middle of the 18th century.
The albums entered the collections of the Ecole de Santé in 1796, along with the magnificent drawings by the painter Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711) [https://www.biusante.parisdescartes.fr/histoire/medica/presentations/lairesse-bidloo-cowper.php] for the anatomy of Govard Bidloo (1649-1713), and they have remained ever since in the medical library at 12, rue de l’Ecole de Médecine in Paris (now BIU Santé Médecine). Purchased as an anonymous lot along the Lairesse masterpiece, the albums had not been successfully examined until 2016.
The rarity of this set and the surprise of its identification piqued interest. After initial documentation [https://www.biusante.parisdescartes.fr/blog/index.php/redecouverte-anatomie-van-horne-sagemolen/ ] and digitisation [https://www.biusante.parisdescartes.fr/histoire/medica/presentations/sagemolen.php] by the BIU Santé’s medical history department, a conservation and study project was carried out with the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Centre de recherche et de restauration des musées de France.
The project will result in two events this year which will be held seperatly due to the current health crisis : the symposium will take place online in June and the exhibition of the albums at the Musée d’histoire de la Médecine is delayed until the autumn 2021 (more information soon).
