    Zustand: very good. Quam præside Dn. Justi Vesti. Erfurt : Literis Groschianis, [1685]. Modern boards. 32 pp. Thesis. Exlibri of Johan W. Schotman & Dr. B.J. Kam on endpapers. - Late 17th century dissertation on 'sufficating' hysteria. Hysteria is considered the oldest of all observed mental disorders and in the Corpus Hippocraticum, the cause of the illness mentioned in the Corpus Hippocraticum is the sick womb. Conceptually, it was assumed, among other things, that the uterus, if it is not regularly fed with semen (sperm), wanders around the body searching for it, in the event of a suffocatio it can ascend to the heart and then even bite down on the brain. According to Hippocratic medicine, the uterus exerts pressure on other organs such as the diaphragm and the respiratory organs during its migration in the body and thus also a (hysterical ') caused an attack of suffocation (with cessation of breathing, loss of voice and impairment of sensory perception). Many patients of hysteria were prosecuted as witches and underwent interrogations, torture, exorcisms, and execution. In the same period as this dissertation the idea of a wandering uterus was first contradicted by the English doctor Thomas Sydenham, who in 1682 wrote a famous essay on hysteria, which he regarded as hypochondria, in a letter to William Cole.
