Book excerpt: To read Medieval Welsh Medical Texts for free please visit https: //www.uwp.co.uk/app/uploads/MWMT_final_low-res-2.pdf This volume presents the first critical edition and translation of the corpus of medieval Welsh medical recipes traditionally ascribed to the Physicians of Myddfai. These offer practical treatments for a variety of everyday conditions such as toothache, constipation and gout. The recipes have been edited from the four earliest collections of Welsh medical texts in manuscript, which date from the late fourteenth century. A series of notes provides sources and analogues for the recipes, demonstrating their relationship with the European medical tradition. The identification of herbal ingredients in the recipes is based on pre-modern plant-name glossaries rather than modern dictionaries, and has led to new interpretations of many of the recipes. Comprehensive glossaries allow the reader to find any recipe based on the ingredients and equipment used in it or the condition treated. This new interpretation of these texts clearly shows that they are not unique, but rather form part of the medical tradition that was common throughout Europe during the Middle Ages.

Book Synopsis Uroscopy and Urinary Ailments in Medieval Welsh Medical Texts by : Diana Luft

Download or read book Uroscopy and Urinary Ailments in Medieval Welsh Medical Texts written by Diana Luft. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corpus of late fourtenth-century medieval Welsh medical recipes often attributed to the legendary Physicians of Myddfai includes a number of recipes meant to treat urinary ailments, as well as directions on how to diagnose conditions, and provide prognosis to patients, based on the appearance of their urine. These directions are quite obviously related to similar types of instructions in contemporary Latin texts as well as those in the European vernaculars. However the recipes for urinary ailments, strange as some of them may seem, also form part of this wider European medical culture. This paper demonstrates the continuity between the Welsh remedies for urinary ailments and those of medieval England and Europe. It goes on to explore the relationship between the Welsh remedies and older texts such as the herbal attributed to Macer Floridus, Medicina de Quadrupedibus which was translated into Old English, and ultimately Classical sources. While at first glance it may seem that the medical texts attributed to the Physicians of Myddfai are a bit odd, or idiosyncratic, in reality they are firmly embedded in the western medical tradition, and echo the medical ideas that were being propagated in all European vernaculars at this time.
