A study of Anglo-Norman medical prescriptions, which analyses six collections comprising over 1000 receipts. It includes a historical introduction that offers an account of popular medicine in the period 1100-1300.
'Fills a big gap. It is concerned with recipe collections, perhaps the least studied of all medical documents, and includes - chants, charms and prayers, as well as herbal remedies for a variety of ailments.' 'Popular Medicinesucceeds in two ways: the quality of its philological scholarship confirms the growing academic respectability of an interest in medical history, and the abundance of primary material made available for the first time in print offers a way of reconciling opposing views on medieval English medicine. It forces medical historians to think hard about the diagnostic categories they use, and sanctions a pluralist approach to an equally diverse systemof medicine.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
