Medieval Medicine
Luke Demaitre has provided us with a book on later medieval medicine unlike any other, systematically illuminating the intersection of medical theory and practice as reflected by about two dozen of the most prominent and highly circulated Latin medical manuals spanning the eleventh through fifteenth centuries. Demaitre does not advance a particular argument about these guides, but provides a wonderfully descriptive and comparative tour of them. E…

As a result of the availability of new and exotic drugs and a diversifying medical profession to serve burgeoning towns, some late thirteenth-century physicians began to inquire more explicitly about the difference between a medicine and a poison. Were some substances simply too dangerous to be used in general medical practice? That medical authorities had never agreed on a single definition of poison complicated progress on this front. Fifteenth…

During the first half of the nineteenth century progress in botany lay very largely in the hands of the systematists, many of whom were received into the Fellowship of the Royal Society. Among them are to be found such widely celebrated names as Sir Joseph Banks, George Bentham, Robert Brown, Sir William and Sir Joseph Hooker, John Lindley, A. B. Lambert and Alexander Macleay. To all of these John Gillies and his work were well known. Gillies als…
Cromwell Mortimer, F. R. S

The following notes deal with what are, perhaps, the less familiar aspects of his training and ideas. At the age of twenty-one Cromwell Mortimer was enrolled in the Leyden medical faculty on 7 September 1719. A t that time Sir Hans Sloane…
