Jacques Ferrand
Jacques Ferrand was a French physician best known for his 1610 publication 'Traicte de l'essence et guerison de l'amour ou de la melancholie erotique,' which explored the concept of love as a medical condition. His work delved into the psychological and physiological aspects of love and heartbreak, positioning these emotions within a medical framework that contributed to early understandings of romantic relationships. Despite facing condemnation from the Inquisition, Ferrand's treatise was reedited in 1623 and continues to be referenced in historical studies of love and its neurobiological implications.
