Janus was an academic journal published in Amsterdam in the French language from 1896 to 1990,{{r|worldcat}} devoted to the history of medicine and the history of science.{{r|whm}}

It should not be confused with a different journal by the same name on the history of medicine, published roughly 50 years earlier in Germany as {{lang|de|Janus, Zeitschrift für Geschichte und Literatur der Medicin}}.{{r|edelstein}}

Founding and early history

The journal was founded in 1896 by Carel Eduard Daniëls and Hendrik Peypers, with the French subtitle {{lang|fr|Archives internationales pour l'histoire de la médecine et la géographie médicale}} [International Archive for the History of Medicine and Medical Geography].{{r|whm}} In his 1895 doctoral dissertation in history, Peypers had already quoted Schlegel concerning the Janus-like viewpoint of the historian, "the prophet who also looks backwards":{{r|peypers}}

From 1915 onward, the journal called itself the {{lang|fr|organe de la société historique néerlandaise des sciences médicales, exactes et naturelles}} [journal of the Dutch Society for the History of Medical, Exact, and Natural Sciences].{{r|hathitrust}} The society was founded at the same time as the journal, and existed primarily to publish the journal.{{r|snelders}} This series of the journal ended in 1941, interrupted by World War II.{{r|whm}}

Post-war revival

In 1957, the same journal was restarted, this time subtitled {{lang|fr|revue internationale de l'histoire des sciences, de la médecine, de la pharmacie et de la technique}} [International Review for the History of Science, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Technology].{{r|whm}} It had {{ill|Evert Marie Bruins|de}} as co-editor;{{r|whm|bruins}} Bruins had recently returned to Amsterdam from teaching mathematics in Baghdad, and in 1969 he would be named professor of the history of mathematics at the University of Amsterdam.{{r|bruins}} In 1963 he took over full editorship of the journal.{{r|whm|bruins}} Under the influence of Bruins, the journal began including the history of mathematics in its repertoire of topics.{{r|whm}}

Bruins died in 1990,{{r|bruins}} and his journal ceased publication in the same year.{{r|whm}}
