- Resum
- This essay argues that Richard de Fournival (d. 1260) played a hitherto unrecognized role in finding, assembling, and promoting medical literature in the second quarter of the thirteenth century. Although the evidence is largely circumstantial, Richard seems to be the key figure that ties together the recovery of medical translations that had been made in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, but that were still virtually unknown at the beginning of the thirteenth century. Historians of medicine have been inattentive to RichardÕs centrality because too few critical editions of medical texts or surveys of medical manuscripts have been done to reconstruct textual circulation in this period. The present study, by drawing on data about the circulation of medical texts in the century and a half before Richard was active, demonstrates how sudden was the appearance of a corpus of medical writings that made many hitherto uninfluential works of Constantine the African, Gerard of Cremona, Burgundio of Pisa, and Mark of Toledo newly visible. This study suggests, moreover, that most of this activity of collecting and structuring a new medical corpus, though possibly drawing in part on the talents of scribes in Italy, took place in northern France, the center out of which the "New Galen" emerged.
