MEDICINE IN THE MEDIEVAL MEDITERRANEAN SERIES
Series editor: Alain Touwaide, Smithsonian Institution, National museum of Natural History,
and Institute for the Preservation of medical Traditions, USa
Medicine in the Medieval Mediterranean is a series devoted to all aspects of medicine in the Mediterranean area during the
Middle Ages, from the 3rd/4th centuries to the 16th. Though with a focus on Greek medicine, diffused through the whole
Mediterranean world and especially developed in Byzantium, it also includes the contributions of the cultures that were
present or emerged in the area during the Middle Ages and after, and which interacted with Byzantium: the Latin West
and early vernacular languages, the Syrian and Arabic worlds, Armenian, Georgian and Coptic groups, Jewish and Slavic
cultures and Turkish peoples, particularly the Ottomans. Medicine is understood in a broad sense: not only medical theory,
but also the health conditions of people, nosology and epidemiology, diet and therapy, practice and teaching, doctors and
hospitals, the economy of health, and the non-conventional forms of medicine from faith to magic, that is, all the spectrum
of activities dealing with human health.The series includes texts and studies. It will bring to light previously unknown,
overlooked or poorly known documents interpreted with the most appropriate methods, and publish the results of
cutting-edge research, so providing a wide range of scholarly and scientifc felds with new data for further explorations.
