"Simon of Genoa's Medical Lexicon", an edited volume based on the conference held on March 17th, 2012, is part of the Simon Online project - a dynamically growing Wiki edition of Simon of Genoa's Clavis sanationis, a Latin-Greek-Arabic medical dictionary from the late 13th century. In the individual articles, written by well-known scholars, authorities in their fields of research, Simon and his major work, are approached from different perspectives and as a whole. The volume offers a comprehensible and well-balanced collection of current research on Simon and Clavis sanationis. The volume demonstrates the importance of the Clavis, not only for the history of pharmacology and medicine, but also for Byzantine and medieval studies, Roman, Greek, Latin and Arabic philology and lexicography. Barbara Zipser (Doctor of Philosophy, Wellcome Trust University Award 2006, 2010) is a researcher at the Centre for the Study of the Body and Material Culture, History Department, Royal Holloway University of London. Her main field of research is Greek medicine from Galen to the late Middle Ages, with an emphasis on textual criticism, manuscript transmission, and the formation of Greek vernacular terminology. Dr Zipser is a well-known and promising young scholar in the field of Ancient and Medieval Medicine. She runs Simon Online (http://www.simonofgenoa.org) - the joint edition and translation project of Simon of Genoa's Clavis sanationis, a dictionary of Latin, Greek and Arabic medical terminology in Wiki format.

"The introduction situates the text and its author in their medical, intellectual, linguistic, and bibliographic contexts, outlining the uroscopic tradition to which Daniel contributes, and describing the relationships among the many manuscripts containing the Liber Uricrisiarum. This edition presents the Middle English text, with a general glossary, glossary of proper names, and explanatory notes that explain obscure words and phrases and identify Daniel's sources. It also includes the complete set of diagrams contained in the Royal manuscript; appendices providing the Latin and English versions of the prologue and epilogue; an extensive translation from one of Daniel's important sources, Isaac Israeli's De urinis; tables relevant to Daniel's astronomical measurements; and an analysis of the Royal manuscript's dialect. Cumulatively, the edition and apparatus introduce readers to an important yet understudied text, the details of which will have significant impact on studies of medieval medicine and science, intellectual history, and Middle English language and literature."-- "Henry Daniel's Liber Uricrisiarum is the earliest known work of academic medicine written in Middle English, presented here for the first time in a complete edition. Working in the late 1370s, Daniel combined authoritative medicine from written sources with his own personal experience, creating a text that stands out for its linguistic originality, intellectual scope, and wide circulation. Extant in over three dozen manuscript witnesses and two early modern print copies, Liber Uricrisiarum describes medieval humoral theory, anatomy, physiology, disease, medical astronomy, reproductive processes, and more, all within the broader context of uroscopic diagnosis."--

Souvent connue et citée à travers le seul exemple, traduit en latin, du Tacuinum sanitatis du médecin chrétien de Bagdad Ibn Butlân († 1068), la littérature diététique médiévale constitua en réalité, dès le XIIIe siècle, un genre à part entière de la production médicale, fréquemment désigné sous le titre de « régimes de santé ». Fondée sur les savoirs hérités de l’Antiquité et du monde arabe, elle connut une fortune importante dont rendent compte aussi bien la centaine d’ouvrages en latin rédigés entre le début du XIIIe et la fin du XVe siècle, que leurs diffusions manuscrite et imprimée. Née d’une réflexion théorique sur la place et le rôle de la diététique dans la conservation de la santé, elle repose sur l’examen et l’observation des « choses non naturelles » (air, alimentation et boisson, sommeil et veille, inanition et replétion, exercice et repos, passions de l’âme) dont le rôle est ambivalent : causes fréquentes de maladies, elles sont aussi les principaux facteurs de la conservation de la santé. Les régimes de santé répondent également à une attente sociale en matière de soin du corps et de prévention des maladies. Certains ont été rédigés par de célèbres médecins médiévaux, à la demande ou à destination d’illustres patients dont ils étaient les praticiens. Ils témoignent ainsi de la circulation des savoirs entre l’université et les milieux de cour, attestée dans d’autres domaines à la fin du Moyen Âge. Ce livre se compose de deux volumes ; le premier est consacré à l’émergence de cette écriture médicale, aux conditions de sa production, à sa diffusion, à ses usages et lectures ; le second propose une série d’annexes qui complètent l’étude de cette tradition, notamment des inventaires des regimina sanitatis latins conservés. À travers l’histoire d’un genre et celle de ses livres manuscrits, il tente de retracer le développement et la diffusion d’une véritable culture diététique.

This ground-breaking book brings together scholars from the humanities and social and physical sciences to address the question of how recent work in the genetics, zoology, and epidemiology of plague's causative organism (Yersinia pestis) can allow a rethinking of the Black Death pandemic and its larger historical significance.
