AB  - A « subtle poison » was the cause of plagues, according to Diderot’s Encyclopédie. In 1555, Janus Cornarius’ De peste appeared, employing venemum over virus to explain poisoning leading to pestilent fevers, caused by little arrows (spicula). This image broke with the official medical theory which judged pestilent fever to be caused by an internal putredo. The De peste, preferring venemum to virus and putredo conferred on poison the force of an epistemological model.
