From the eleventh century to the Black Death in 1348 Europe was
economically vigorous and expanding, especially in Mediterranean
societies. In this world of growing wealth educational institutions
were founded, the universities, and it was in these that a new form
of medicine came to be taught and which widely influenced medical
care throughout Europe. The essays in this collection focus on the
practical aspects of medieval medicine. They explore how the
learned medical men understood and coped with plague; the theory
and practice of medical astrology, and of bleeding (phlebotomy) for
the cure and prevention of illness. Several essays deal with the
development and interrelations of the nascent medical profession
and of Christian, Muslim and Jewish practitioners. Special emphasis
is given to the practice of surgery, and the problems of recovering
knowledge of a large proportion of medical care - that given by
women - are also explored.
