Textes médicaux latins antiques

Textes médicaux latins antiques et présalernitains. Santé et maladie, diététique et thérapeutique

Colloque 

5-8 juin 2024

Université Toulouse -Jean Jaurès

Ce colloque est le quinzième d’une série de colloques internationaux initiée en 1984 à Macerata par Innocenzo Mazzini, et qui se produisent tous les trois ans dans divers pays européens ; ces colloques réunissent les éditeurs et commentateurs de textes médicaux latins.

L’objectif est de réunir les chercheurs travaillant dans le même domaine, afin de faire le point sur l’avancement des éditions et sur les problématiques rencontrées : il y a donc de la paléographie, de la codicologie (étude des manuscrits), de l’ecdotique (étude de la transmission du texte et des leçons à choisir parmi les différents manuscrits), en vue de la préparation des éditions, mais aussi de l’histoire des idées et des pratiques médicales antiques.

Les auteurs latins étudiés vont de Celse (début du premier s. ap. J.-C.) à la période présalernitaine, c’est-à-dire le VIIIe s. ap. J.-C. Ces colloques font avancer la recherche en médecine ancienne par la réflexion sur les textes, qui permet ensuite celle sur le contenu, afin d’avoir une meilleure représentation du niveau de la science antique.

Augustine Debaralle (1782-1818)

Une guérisseuse en France. Augustine Debaralle (1782-1818)

Nicolas Sueur


Presses Universitaires François-Rabelais
Perspectives historiques | Série Médecine |
216 pages
28 mars 2024
ISBN: 978-2-86906-928-2


Mettant en perspectives l’analyse du parcours individuel d’une guérisseuse et son inscription dans un contexte social, scientifique et réglementaire, ce livre met à jour le combat d’une femme pour faire reconnaître sa fonction de soignante au moment-même où les autorités consulaires et impériales posent (pour un siècle) le cadre légal de l’enseignement et de l’exercice de la médecine et de la pharmacie.

Née en 1782 à Valenciennes, Augustine Debaralle, entreprend des études pour devenir sage-femme mais se retrouve chassée de l’hospice de la maternité de Paris. Elle commence alors à rédiger un mémoire à destination des sages-femmes, chose peu courante à l’époque pour quelqu’un de son âge, puis cherche à exercer la médecine dans le département du Nord, mais fait, très rapidement, l’objet de plaintes. Se heurtant à la rigidité réglementaire, Augustine Debaralle refuse de se contenter des possibilités d’exercice médical ouvertes aux femmes (obstétrique, herboristerie) pour exiger d’exercer pleinement la médecine et la pharmacie. Mais aucune de ses demandes de certificat d’exercice n’aboutit et sa paranoïa se renforce.
La trajectoire d’Augustine Debaralle questionne les marges de manœuvre et l’autonomie féminines dans le champ de la santé, et permet d’aborder le cadre plus large de l’exercice illégal de la médecine et de la pharmacie et celui de la présence médicale « officielle » dans les espaces urbains et ruraux.

Divination onomantique à la fin de la Grande-Bretagne médiévale

Onomantic Divination in Late Medieval Britain. Questioning Life, Predicting Death

Joanne Edge

 

Boydell & Brewer

March 2024
 

Demonstrates the wide prevalence of supposedly impermissible divination techniques found in a wide range of manuscripts from medieval Britain.

When will I die? What is the sex of my unborn child? Which of two rivals will win a duel?As today, people in the later Middle Ages approached their uncertainties about the future, from the serious to the mundane, in a variety of ways. One of the most commonly surviving prognostic methods in medieval manuscripts is onomancy: the branch of divination that predicts the future from calculations based on the numbers that correlate to the letters of personal names. However, despite its ubiquity, it has been relatively little studied.

This book analyses the intellectual and physical contexts of onomantic texts in some 65 manuscripts of British provenance between around 1150 and 1500, focusing on its two main varieties It demonstrates that onomancies were copied, owned and used by a people from a wide range of literate society in late medieval England: medical practitioners; the gentry and aristocracy; university scholars; and monks. And it seeks to answer the question of why a divinatory device, condemned in canon law as "Pythagorean necromancy", enjoyed such popularity in mainstream books of religion, medicine, and scholasticism.

La médecine des frères dans l'Angleterre médiévale

The Medicine of the Friars in Medieval England

Peter Murray Jones


326 Pages
Series: Health and Healing in the Middle Ages
Series Vol. Number: 5
Imprint: York Medieval Press

Friars are often overlooked in the picture of health care in late medieval England. Physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, barbers, midwives - these are the people we think of immediately as agents of healing; whilst we identify university teachers as authorities on medical writings. Yet from their first appearance in England in the 1220s to the dispersal of the friaries in the 1530s, four orders of friars were active as healers of every type. Their care extended beyond the circle of their own brethren: patients included royalty, nobles and bishops, and they also provided charitable aid and relief to the poor. They wrote about medicine too. Bartholomew the Englishman and Roger Bacon were arguably the most influential authors, alongside the Dominican Henry Daniel. Nor should we forget the anonymous Franciscan compilers of the Tabula medicine, a handbook of cures, which, amongst other items, contains case histories of friars practising medicine. Even after the Reformation, these texts continued to circulate and find new readers amongst practitioners and householders.


This book restores friars to their rightful place in the history of English health care, exploring the complex, productive entanglement between care of the soul and healing of the body, in both theoretical and practical terms. Drawing upon the surprising wealth of evidence found in the surviving manuscripts, it brings to light individuals such as William Holme (c. 1400), and his patient the duke of York (d. 1402), who suffered from swollen legs. Holme also wrote about medicinal simples and gave instructions for dealing with eye and voice problems experienced by his brother Franciscans. Friars from the thirteenth century onwards wrote their medicine differently, reflecting their religious vocation as preachers and confessors.

L'exploitation industrielle des os humains

Bones of contention: the industrial exploitation of human bones in the modern age

Bernard Wilkin & Robin Schäfer (eds)


Archives générales du Royaume
Broché

01 mars 2024
194 pages


From the early 19th century, bones became a sought-after raw material. Scientists had just discovered its usefulness in agriculture, while the burgeoning sugar industry used it to produce the bone charcoal needed to bleach its coveted product. The high demand that resulted from these technological advances had one major unexpected consequence: the plundering of cemeteries and battlefields. Now, two centuries later, this book brings together for the first time the grim details of the trade in and exploitation of human bones in several countries: Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Algeria and the United States. It shows that not only were the bones of those killed at Waterloo and on other late 18th and 19th century battlefields across Europe exploited, but that this little-known phenomenon also affected the human remains of wars both ancient and modern, including the Crimean War, the American Civil War, the Franco-Prussian War and the First World War. The fact that human bones, not only from battlefields but also from archaeological sites, cemeteries and other sources, were a highly traded industrial commodity was well known, and it was not until less than a century ago that it faded from public memory.
