- Resum
- "In the following article on a fifteenth century German codex, "The 'Book of the Head' in Osler Library MS 7586," Faith Wallis works from an extant but clearly abbreviated text, to reconstruct its hypothetical parent treatise, and to then draw conclusions as to the nature of the editorial policy that resulted in such an abbreviation: that it was produced for a clerical audience to respond to the types of medical situations that might be seen as the province of a priest rather than a "doctor" (trauma from commonplace violence; psychiatric and nervous disorders; epilepsy; or even demonic possession, paralysis and blindness, these last having been targets of Christ's healing). Wallis includes the (evidently seen as obligatory, but here external to the argument) paleographical and codicological description of the Osler manuscript; this reader was surprised to learn that there were no discernible watermarks in either the medical section of the codex (ff. 57- 92) or in the accompanying Postilla in Job by Nicholas of Lyra (ff. 1-56v)" [ The Medieval Review 98.11.04
