How were Greek texts on the care and medical treatment of the horse
transmitted from antiquity to the present day? Using the evidence
of Byzantine manuscripts of the veterinary compilation known as the
Hippiatrica, Anne McCabe traces the journey of the texts from the
stables to the medieval scriptorium and ultimately to the printed
edition. Surviving manuscripts include both magnificent
presentation copies and plain ones intended for use in the field.
The Hippiatrica is a rich and little-known source of information
about horses, medicine, and magic. This book provides a guide to
its complex history as well as a host of fascinating details, and
includes colour illustrations of a number of manuscript pages.
