The Black Death, and The Dancing Mania
Reproduction of the original.
The Black Death and the Dancing Mania
Justus Friedrich Karl Hecker was a German physician and medical writer, whose works appear in medical encyclopaedias and journals of the time. He particularly studied disease in relation to human history, including plague, smallpox, infant mortality, dancing mania and the sweating sickness, and is often said to have founded the study of the history of disease.The account of "The Black Death" here translated by Dr. Babington was Hecker's first important work of this kind. It was published in 1832, and was followed in the same year by his account of "The Dancing Mania." The books here given are the two that first gave Hecker a wide reputation.
The Black Death and the Dancing Mania
Justus Friedrich Karl Hecker was one of three generations of distinguished professors of medicine. This account of the Black Death was Hecker's first important work. It was published in 1832, and was followed in the same year by his account of the Dancing Mania. That Omnipotence which has called the world with all its living creatures into one animated being, revealed Himself in the desolation of The Black Death in the 14th century. Many millions died.The effects of this Black Death had not yet subsided, and the graves of millions of its victims were scarcely closed, when The Dancing Mania arose in Europe, which took possession of the minds of men, and, in spite of the divinity of our nature, hurried away body and soul into the magic circle of hellish superstition. Assemblages of men and women formed circles hand in hand, and appearing to have lost all control over their senses, started dancing, regardless of the bystanders, for hours together, in wild delirium, until at length they fell to the ground in a state of exhaustion, or near-death.

The Black Death in the Fourteenth Century
Justus Friedrich Carl Hecker's (also known as J. F. C. Hecker) The Black Death in the Fourteenth Century served as an introduction to the black death plague for students and lay-people alike for many years. Written in the 19th century, the book recounts the medical understanding of the disease at the time. Though much of this information has been updated with developments in medicine, Hecker still adds useful commentary in his explanations of the causes, mortality rates, and medical treatment of one of the world's most historic medical catastrophes.

The Epidemics of the Middle Ages
The Epidemics of the Middle Ages is a book about several great diseases which turned up and brought horror to the people of Medieval Europe. The book is divided in three parts: 1) "The Black Death" provides descriptions of the apocalyptic destruction and death rates of the 14th century bubonic plague, which wiped out whole towns in England, France and Italy. Ninety percent of city populations died; 2) "The Dancing Mania" tells of a social phenomenon involving groups of people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. Affecting thousands of people across several centuries, dancing mania was not an isolated event. However, its causes were never explained; 3) "The Sweating Sickness" was a mysterious and contagious disease that struck England and later continental Europe in a series of epidemics beginning in 1485. The last outbreak occurred in 1551, after which the disease apparently vanished.
