- Resum
- The lives and careers of medical practitioners in the Islamic and Western Christian middle ages, a period often overlooked and misunderstood, were complex and diverse.
While the overwhelming majority of medical practitioners of the middle ages remain merely names, for others we have a surprising amount of information about their background, practice and thought. Most of these were authors of important medical texts and so were singled out as worthy of commemoration, unsurprising in a period focussed on the power of the written word. Two figures, one from the Arabic-speaking world and the other from the Latin West, stand out and their lives tell us much about the world of the medieval physician. By comparing them, similarities and differences between the two cultures in which they lived become apparent.
