#twitterstorians Attention medical historians: How would you explain this series of (fatal) symptoms in a merchant letter from the 1680s?

@emmailene_@RebeccaRideal Inoculation was practiced in the Ottoman Empire long before England, and it was introduced by the wife of the English ambassador, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (see https://t.co/QBikPDb84K) but it was pretty risky because it used live cultures, hence Jenner's variation was great news
The British expatriate communities of the early modern Magreb are the subject of today's MEMOries blog post from our long standing team member Nat Cutter- enjoy!https://t.co/Qxkw2ZvtS5
