Abstract
The history of a disease can be described or revisited by different
main roads analyzing archival documents or rich bibliography, or studying
biographies of different renowned men. Other different main roads
can be apparently less important, too. These can be described as studying
different therapies, renowned affected men or synonyms for diseases. We
choose this latter main road studying the syphilis disease by the historical
course of its numerous different synonyms during five centuries.
