Medicine in the English Middle Ages is a fascinating example of the wide
variety of the people practising and teaching different aspects of medicine in
medieval Britain. Faye Getz explores a vast number of historical sources-all
carefully noted-to create both a superb scholarly sourcebook and a thoroughly
readable account. The only niggle is that it’s not better illustrated. Published
by Princeton University Press, £21.95, ISBN 0691085226.
