Walker-Meikle, Kathleen, "Animals: Their use and meaning in medieval medicine", dins: McCleery, Iona (ed.), A Cultural History of Medicine in the Middle Ages, Londres - Nova York, Bloomsbury Academic (A Cultural History of Medicine, 2), 2021, pp. 87-106.

Resum: In the field of medieval studies, animals have remained at the periphery of medical history and are rarely the focus of scholarship. Although they are accorded due attention in veterinary history, there has been little work on their place in medical history. This chapter hopes to inspire the reader with a brief survey of the multiple ways in which animals and humans intersect in medieval medical history, looking at animals as medical metaphors; animals as a source of ill health and injury; animals used for nourishment and healing; and the parallels between the treatment of animals and humans.
