- Resum
- The dissertation includes 56 previously unedited prologues from the 15th century along with a discussion of the contents of the prologues, background information, notes and a glossary.
This PdD thesis examines prose prologues to medical texts written or copied in the 15th century. The study has two overall objectives: 1) to create a corpus of all the unedited prologues of this nature in the Sloane Collection of the British Library in London, according to Voigts & Kurtz: Scientific and Medical Writings in Old and Middle English: An Electronic Reference (2000); and 2) to provide an introduction to the medical prologues in the corpus including codicological information, text affiliation, sources and dialects. In addition, the structure, form and content of the prologues selected for this study are discussed in an original analysis. The purpose of this thesis is to fill a void in the academic literature on prologues to medical texts in late Middle English, as indicated by Voigts (1982: 54).
