Furdell, Elizabeth Lane (ed.), Textual Healing: Essays on Medieval and Early Modern Medicine, Leiden, E. J. Brill (Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, 110), 2005, xviii + 294 pp.
- Resum
- This anthology explores often overlooked periods in medicine from medieval to early modern times, taking as a principal theme the need to return to familiar texts and sources for new interpretations. In twelve essays written by a diverse group of scholars, the collection covers topics such as medical politics, herbal remedies and nationalism, the role of experience in casebook writing, the use of medical allusions in literature and popular culture, and the changing impact of various book editions on surgery, embryology, and lay medical knowledge.
