This well-illustrated article represents the first of several forthcoming studies that include a diplomatic edition of the Isagoge based upon these and slightly later, glossed manuscripts from the schools. A ‘born-digital’ study initiated during pandemic lockdown, this project received early notice from news agencies serving both Oberlin College and Coastal Carolina University.
Through the investigation of poems, pottery, personal letters, recipes and petitions, and through a breadth of topics running from street-cleaning, cooking and amulets to religious treatises and death rituals, this volume accords new meaning and value to the period and those who lived it. Its chapters confirm that the study of latrines, patterns of manuscript circulation, miracle narratives, sermons, skeletons, metaphors and so on, have as much to tell us about attitudes towards health and illness as do medical texts. Delving within and beyond texts, and focusing on the sensory, the experiential, the personal, the body and the spirit, this volume celebrates and critiques the diverse and complex cultural history of medieval health and medicine.
