Vers une histoire de la physiognomonie savante (v. 1200-v. 1500)
Complexio and the Transformation of Learned Physiognomy ca. 1200–ca. 1500
This article surveys the long story of complexio in physiognomic discourse, from Galen’s De complexionibus ( De temperamentis ) to the great physiognomic manuals of the fifteenth century by Rolandus Scriptoris and Michele Savonarola. We linger, along the way, on various physiognomic texts, most notably the contributions to learned physiognomic discourse of Michael Scotus, William of Aragon, and John Buridan. The emerging story moves from the abse…
The Pattern of Hospital Admissions Prior to Care Home Placement in People With Parkinson’s Disease: Evidence of a Period of Crisis for Patients and Carers

Method: PD patients at Hoehn and Yahr Stages III to V were followed-up over two and a half years with deaths and care home placements recorded. Hospital admissions data were collected over this perio…

Philosophers and Physicians on the Scientific Validity of Latin Physiognomy, 1200-1500
The article surveys and contextualizes the main arguments among philosophers and academic physicians surrounding the status of physiognomy as a valid science from the thirteenth to the early sixteenth centuries.

This article shows that recourse to expert medical judgement for authenticating miracles has medieval roots which lead to the thirteenth century. It provides a survey of those cases in the printed versions of canonization processes from c. 1200 to c. 1500 where medical men actively appeared as witnesses. It shows how, from the second half of the thirteenth century, many canonization processes (overwhelmingly in southern Europe) included at least …

Reflections on the Jewry Oath in the Middle Ages
The Jewry Oath ( juramentum Judaeorum, Judeneid ) was the judicial oath demanded from Jews involved in legal litigation when summoned to appear in a Christian court both as plaintiffs and defendants.

The ceremony could be long and elaborate, but was usually short and simple. The swearing Jew was…
