Medieval Medical Manuscripts
Colloquium
Date: 14 December 2016
Time: 10:00 -17:15 hrs.
Location: University Library Witte Singel 26-27 2311 BG Leiden, the Vossius Room
This colloquium is devoted to medieval manuscripts with medical texts. The papers are devoted to both the contents and physical appearance of these objects. Discussed are a variety of contextual issues, including the production centers of medical manuscripts, their manner of use, and the individuals for whom the books were made. The geographical focus is the Latin West, though connections with the Arabic tradition will be drawn. The Long Twelfth Century, when medical manuscripts were first produced in large numbers, is a common thread joining many of the papers.
The proceedings are to be published by Leiden University Press.
