Charles Creighton Libri
Charles Creighton fu un medico e autore medico britannico. Fu molto apprezzato per i suoi scritti accademici sulla storia della medicina, ma fu ampiamente denunciato per aver contestato la teoria dei germi delle malattie infettive. Il suo lavoro si addentra negli annali della storia medica, offrendo una prospettiva accademica. Tuttavia, le sue opinioni non convenzionali sulle origini delle malattie suscitarono notevoli controversie e dibattiti.
