Medieval Herbal Remedies: The Old English Herbarium and Early-Medieval Medicine Van Arsdall Anne
Featured here is a modern translation of a medieval herbal, with a study showing how this technical treatise on herbs was turned into a literary curiosity in the nineteenth century. New information is presented on Oswald Cockayne, the nineteenth-century philologist who first translated the Old English medical texts for the modern world.Here the medieval text is read as an example of technical writing (i.e., intended to convey instructions/information), not as literature.
