Contrary to modern beliefs, the medieval world was not one of
superstition and ignorance. True, they lacked what we know as
science, but on the other hand, they were in possession of a
coherent philosophy of life, handed down to them from the Greeks
and Romans, which had been further hammered out in a thousand ways
over the course of centuries. When luck was with them (the period
was, above all, poor), medieval peoples were surprisingly
successful in dealing with the problems of everyday life. With
minds open, we come to the medieval world as if it was a strange
alien planet. Because their philosophy was different, their
observations were different, and, therefore, their solutions were
different. Some were good. Some were not. The best of them are
worthy of our attention, for they can teach us much. The author,
Joseph Blagrave (1610-1682), was a country doctor who lived in
Reading, England, in part as he lacked the license that would let
him practice openly in London. Fundamentally, he was an
astrological herbalist. To this, he brought an eclectic mix of
observation, experimentation, folk knowledge, and his own unique
genius. Free of modern conceptions, he was able to view and treat
the diseases of his day in ways that were revolutionary.
