- Resum
- This paper deals with the history of the knowledge of the blood in the Middle Ages, a history made by theoretical reflections but also by attitudes, by approaches, even by diversified practices. It presents alternately the questions connected to the nature of this vital fluid and to its formation in the body, but also its role in the etiology, by virtue of which an important part was confered to the blood in the medical semiology. Numerous doctors, for example, wondered about the kind of food able to generate the most profitable blood for the patient's health. But these speculations should not put in the shade the practical aspects of the history of the blood : we know for example that till the end of the Middle Ages, the flebotomy took an increasing place in the medical practice even in the everyday life, and we also know that this practice aroused conflicts of skills, even repositionings between two main types of practitioners, the doctors and the surgeons. At the end, this study shows that the riddles connected to the nature of the blood brought some people to take an increasing interest to alchemy.
