Abstract

A key element of medieval and early modern medical practice was the creation of a positive attitude in the patient. To this end, a variety of persuasive strategies were employed, which are amply documented in available records of European medical texts, especially recipes. This paper demonstrates through qualitative software analysis the conceptual categories related to persuasion and positive attitude, with special regard to their usage patterns, frequencies and typical co-occurrences in the most common genre of 16th and 17th-century medical Hungarian, that of medical recipes.
