Variolation became a popular method in Europe in the eighteenth century. Sources from Gdansk not only illustrate the guidelines that were used for these procedures, but also make it possible to compare that with the memories of the person on whom it was performed. In this case, the primary sources are: a 1772 work by physician Nathanael Mathaeus von Wolf, and the diaries of Johanna Henrietta Trosiener, mother of Arthur Schopenhauer. As the comparative analysis shows, the theoretical assumptions were sometimes changed during the practical implementation of variolation.
