Curing ailments with insects and birds.

Popular Medicine in the High Middle Ages.

The objective of the Medica ut noscantur series is informative, without compromising indispensable scientific rigor. It aims to make medical knowledge from Antiquity, which often remains outside mass dissemination circuits, accessible to curious readers. Each volume, of limited length, will comprise a group of texts presenting a problem or a specific aspect of ancient medicine. The texts will be accompanied by a translation, a minimal introduction, and a basic bibliography. The notes will be only those essential for contextualizing or explaining a point that might be difficult for the reader.
