Abstract

"The medical tradition that developed in the lands of Islam during the medieval period (c. 650-1500) has, like few others, influenced the fates and fortunes of countless human beings. It is a story of contact and cultural exchange across countries and creeds, affecting many people from kings to the common crowd. This tradition formed the roots from which modern Western medicine arose. Contrary to the stereotypical picture, medieval Islamic medicine was not simply a conduit for Greek ideas, but a venue for innovation and change.Medieval Islamic Medicine is organized around five topics: the emergence of medieval Islamic medicine and its intense crosspollination with other cultures; the theoretical medical framework; the function of physicians within the larger society; medical care as seen through preserved case histories; and the role of magic and devout religious invocations in scholarly as well as everyday medicine. A concluding chapter on the "afterlife" concerns the impact of this tradition on modern European medical practices, and its continued practice today. The book includes an index of persons and their books; a timeline of developments in East and West; and a section on further reading."

Abstract

Der längste altfranzösische Text in hebräischer Graphie, genannt Fevres, ist ein theoretischer medizinischer Fachtext und besteht aus einer Kompilation von Werken salernitanischer Tradition, die in dem Traktat erstmals auf Französisch vorliegen. Der anonyme jüdische Autor lebte im Grenzgebiet Champagne – Lothringen – Burgund, und stellte die Fieberschrift vermutlich eingangs des 14. Jahrhunderts zusammen, indem er kanonische Texte v.a. aus dem Lateinischen in die Volkssprache übersetzte. Fevres ist in einem einzigen Manuskript, möglicherweise sogar als Autograph (Berlin SBPK Ms. or. oct. 512), überliefert. Die Autorin ermöglicht auch Romanisten, die das hebräische Alphabet nicht lesen, durch eine Teiledition in vier Schritten (Textedition – Transliteration – hypothetischer, altfranzösischer Lesetext – Übersetzung) einen Zugang zu diesem außergewöhnlichen Text. Der Edition wird eine ausführliche Einleitung vorangestellt, die u.a. die jüdisch-französische Texttradition darstellt sowie quellenkundliche und sprachlichen Merkmale von Fevres näher untersucht. Umfangreiche Glossare, die den medizinischen Fachwortschatz mit zahlreichen Erstbelegen erfassen, runden die Arbeit ab. Diese Arbeit wurde mit dem Kurt-Ringger-Preis und dem Elise-Richter-Preis des Deutschen Romanistenverbandes 2017 ausgezeichnet. Only a few works on medical theory are extant in 14th-century Old French. This book includes a partial edition and translation along with historical, dialectological, and source-analytic studies about an anonymous treatise on fever written after 1300 in Hebrew characters in eastern France. The medical vocabulary in Fevres is explained in glossaries that include many first-known references.

Abstract

Consilia played an important role in not only medieval but also early modern professional health literature. A literary 'consilium' consisted of a written statement of one particular case, including the patient's condition and disease as well as advice concerning medical treatment. In the sixteenth century, consilia literature was a common component of the practices of many eminent physicians. This is illustrated through an analysis of consilia from twenty-two different collections and anthologies by fifteen selected authors, who represent university professors, personal physicians, and urban physicians from early modern Italy, France, and German-speaking Central Europe. A closer look at nearly 7,000 consilia shows how important a link they were within the medical community. A detailed view of consilia intended for patients suffering from the 'French disease' reveals details about, for instance, the most common treatments for syphilis - mercury and guaiacum - alongside many other interesting and important details.
