Medical Illustrations in Medieval Manuscripts

Loren MacKinney

4.9/5 (13086 ratings)

Description:The illustrations from medieval medical manuscripts provide a brilliant picture of medical practice not only in the Middle Ages, but also in Ancient Greece and Rome, whence came, in somewhat degraded form, much of the medieval knowledge of medicine and surgery.This selection of 104 miniatures—18 in full colour—represents a cross-section of the medieval medical illustrator's art in all its forthright objectivity. It reflects the breadth and depth of the healing art as practised in the Western world during the late medieval period, though indeed much of the practice here depicted persisted into the nineteenth century, notably cautery, bloodletting, herbal medicines and crude forms of surgery.Professor MacKinney devoted thirty years to the study of the medical manuscripts in all the great collections throughout Europe and the United States. In annotating the miniatures culled from sources as far apart as Leningrad, Istanbul, Cairo, London, Paris and New York, to mention but a few, Professor MacKinney has, with the true scholar's awareness of his own limitations, called on the services of paleographers, iconographers and linguists. The result will appeal to a wide audience embracing both the medical man who appreciates history and the intellectual layman interested in the age-old struggle against human ailments. In addition to his detailed study of the important texts Professor MacKinney has provided a check list of medical miniatures in extant manuscripts which is likely to prove an indispensable research tool for all scholars interested in medical history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
