- Resum
- Over 100 medical manuscripts in the British Library and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France date from the period between 700 and 1200 CE. The fifteen manuscripts chosen for the Polonsky France and England Collection capture a sense of medicine in these regions, showing both stasis and extraordinary change. A long period of engagement with the medical inheritance from the late antique Mediterranean world saw Latin readers wrestle with a Greek terminology that grew increasingly obscure. Then, quite rapidly in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries, there emerged a shared corpus of new Latin texts and ideas, first in surgery, and then in every field of medicine. These were either re-editions of old Latin works, new translations from Arabic, or compositions made de novo. Although nearly all the newly created texts came from southern Italy, both France and England benefitted quickly and substantially from these developments. Retrievals and juxtapositions of various texts show a new curiosity about medicines and their physical effects within both monastic and aristocratic communities. From the north of England to the south of France, Arabic medicine now linked Europe to a wider world.
