Zipser, Barbara, "Medicine, Byzantine", dins: Lagerlund, Henrik (ed.), Encyclopedia of Medieval Philosophy: Philosophy between 500 and 1500, Heidelberg, Springer, 2010, pp. 746-748.

Resum: The Byzantine period saw a massive rise in the production of medical encyclopedias. These were mostly based on earlier models, mainly Galen. Only in few cases these models were criticized. The language of these texts was mainly learned Byzantine Greek; the vernacular was rarely used. Overall, there was a certain tendency toward the practical application of medicine rather than a development of new models.

Medical practice centered around hospitals. Some of these institutions also had the facilities to offer a specialized treatment, for instance for gynecological problems.
