Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1980.

This dissertation examines the social aspirations and social mobility of the three legal medical practitioners in sixteenth century France, the physicians, apothecaries and surgeons--as revealed in their publications on specialized medical subjects and archival sources documenting their marriage patterns, wealth, jobs, and political activities. Specifically, the cities of Lyon and Montpellier were chosen to study because of their contrasting yet representative characteristics. Lyon, a progressive, expanding city with economic traditions that reinforced mobility was a center of medical publication although it had no university. Montpellier a conservative, tradition-bound city, did have a university and therefore was a center of medical education. These cities attracted medical practitioners both from the publishing elite and the more representative ordinary physicians, apothecaries, and surgeons who constituted the larger structure underlying this elite.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines the social aspirations and social mobility of the three legal medical practitioners in sixteenth century France, the physicians, apothecaries and surgeons--as revealed in their publications on specialized medical subjects and archival sources documenting their marriage patterns, wealth, jobs, and political activities. Specifically, the cities of Lyon and Montpellier were chosen to study because of their contrasting yet representative characteristics. Lyon, a progressive, expanding city with economic traditions that reinforced mobility was a center of medical publication although it had no university. Montpellier a conservative, tradition-bound city, did have a university and therefore was a center of medical education. These cities attracted medical practitioners both from the publishing elite and the more representative ordinary physicians, apothecaries, and surgeons who constituted the larger structure underlying this elite.
520 $a In addition to analyzing the social aspirations and mobility of the medical practitioners, their professional organization, training, and power relations are also examined. At the University of Montpellier rigorous attempts were made to maintain and improve academic standards. The training of the physicians shifted in favor of Greek medical authors and new programs which emphasized anatomy and botany were also introduced. The establishment of a College of Physicians in Lyon created an organizational base for the Lyon physicians for the first time. The trade associations of the apothecaries and surgeons became more restrictive and their training improved because of their closer relations with the physicians in both Lyon and Montpellier. These changes in medical education and organization ultimately shifted the power relations among the three legal medical groups. The physicians emerged more powerful than the striving apothecaries and surgeons beneath them who nevertheless challenged the physicians' professional preeminence. The professional monopoly of the physicians was also challenged by the persistence of a medical counter-structure--the empirics or illegal lay practitioners, whose presence underscored the growing rift between the nonacademic popular culture and the academic learned culture of sixteenth-century medicine and society.
520 $a This dissertation contributes new data and hypotheses concerning the social status, social mobility, and professional evolution of medical practitioners, that is physicians, apothecaries and surgeons. It focuses upon French practitioners of the sixteenth century, a period not studied before by more recent scholars of the social history of medicine, and for the first time, both the social and the professional developments of the three official medical groups are compared. My research and analysis provide new as well as corroborative information concerning the process by which different social groups moved up and down the hierarchical social structure of early modern France. The analysis of the empirics who challenged the official medical practitioners' desire for a monopoly upon medical practice also sheds new light upon the work of recent medical historians who have focused on this same question for the period between 1700-1900.
520 $a Finally, my study of the social status, mobility, and professional evolution of sixteenth century medical practitioners presents a specific example of the kind of behavior studied by sociologists interested in defining the nature of a profession. In particular, the way in which the physicians of sixteenth century France defined their work and controlled access to their group is near to the sociologists' conception of the ideal type. The issues of professional control that are encapsulated in the triumph, albeit limited and qualified of the physicians, apothecaries, and surgeons over the empirics, also gives fresh and clear historical evidence of the process of professionalization.
