[This chapter identifies early uses of the term “palliative cure” in the late Middle Ages already and describes its growing usage from the sixteenth century onwards. It studies the contemporary meanings of the term “palliative”, which also carried connotations of “merely” covering up the symptoms rather than providing a true, radical cure, and it traces and the eventual rise of the more specific term “euthanasia medicinalis”, referring to the palliative care of the dying. The bulk of the chapter provides a detailed overview of the extensive but so far largely ignored early modern literature on the topic and of what the authors had to say about the practicalities and challenges of terminal care.]
