This is the first book to be published on any aspect of medicine in
the crusades. It will be of interest not only to scholars of the
crusades specifically, but also to scholars of medieval Europe, the
Byzantine world and the Islamic world. Focusing on injuries and
their surgical treatment, Piers D. Mitchell considers medical
practitioners, hospitals on battlefields and in towns, torture and
mutilation, emergency and planned surgical procedures,
bloodletting, analgesia and anesthesia. He provides an assessment
of the exchange of medical knowledge that took place between East
and West in the crusades, and of the medical negligence legislation
for which the kingdom of Jerusalem was famous. The book presents a
radical reassessment of many outdated misconceptions concerning
medicine in the crusades and the Frankish states of the Latin East.
