This session will explore the material contexts of medical learning and practice c. 900–1150 as well as the broader library contexts in which medical texts were transmitted and created. By investigating the physical contexts of medical knowledge, this session aims to shed light on the material form of the knowledge employed for studying and effecting health and healing in the central and high Middle Ages.
