Cruz Cabanillas, Isabel de la - Diego Rodríguez, Irene, "The Capsula eburnea in several Middle English witnesses", Token, 13/5-26 (2021).
- Resum
- Medieval treatises containing predictions to recognise the signs of death were based onworks written by Hippocrates or attributed to him. In the case of the Capsula eburnea,the original text was written in Greek and translated into Latin in the Middle Ages.The Latin translations circulated widely in different versions: a translation from Greekbetween the fifth and the seventh centuries and a later translation from Arabic in thelate twelfth century. During the late Middle English period, they were translated intoEnglish, among other vernacular languages. The present article aims to compare andcollate four fifteenth-century prognostic treatises in Middle English with their possibleLatin exemplars. The analysis of the witnesses will shed light on the shadowy landscapeof pseudo-Hippocratic prognostic texts in Middle English and will contribute to trace theLatin sources of these Middle English witnesses.
