Body Parts, Sicknesses, Instruments, and Medicinal Preparations

Produktbeschreibung

From approximately 1375 onwards, the use of English began to gain a firmer foothold in medical manuscripts, which in previous centuries had been written mainly in Latin or French. Scholars of Middle English, and editors of medical texts from late medieval England, are thus faced with a huge medical vocabulary which no single volume has yet attempted to define. This dictionary is therefore an essential reference tool. The material analysed here includes edited texts, manuscripts and early printed books.
