Barkai, Ron, "A medieval Hebrew treatise on obstetrics", Medical History, 33 (1989), 96-119.
- Resum
- The work in question is a chapter entitled Miqosi ha-Leda (On difficulties of birth), which exists in a fourteenth-century manuscript (París, Bibliothèque Nationale, Ms. Héb. 1120, ff. 66v-67r) which itself constitutes a fragment of a medical treatise. From the chapters remaining of this work -two of which deal with laxatives- it may be seen that its scope was not limited to women's medicine. Nevertheless, women's medicine was obviously one of its main topics: aside from the chapter on difficulties of parturition, it contains a chapter on the extraction of the placenta after birth, and a chapter devoted to uterine diseases. This ms. is of extreme importance to the history of Hebrew obstetrics, as it is accompanied by sixteen drawings of foetuses in the womb, and is the only Hebrew-language manuscript to which such drawings are appended.
