About This Book
The volume surveys the development of medical thought and practice from the decline of classical antiquity into the medieval age, documenting literary sources, the influence of church fathers and Talmudic medicine, and the medical traditions of Byzantium and the Arab world. It traces the transmission of Greek learning through Syriac intermediaries, examines the flowering of clinical instruction in southern Italian schools, and analyzes how Arab medical knowledge merged with scholastic currents to shape later medieval medical literature and institutions.
