Description

This scholarly work examines how medieval and early modern illustrations in medical, pharmaceutical, and natural history treatises functioned differently than modern expectations suggest. By analysing diverse primary sources including herbals, surgery manuals, lay health guides, jewellery, cinquecento paintings, manuscripts of Pliny's Natural History, and Leonardo's notebooks, the book explores why these illustrations often bear little visual resemblance to their subjects and investigates their practical roles in medical education and clinical practice. Part of the AVISTA Studies in the History of Medieval Technology, Science and Art series, this volume addresses fundamental questions about the relationship between visual representation and scientific knowledge during a transformative period in European intellectual history, offering valuable insights for scholars of medieval studies, history of science, and manuscript culture.

Key Features

Examines herbals, surgery manuals, and lay health guides from the medieval period to understand how illustrations functioned in medical practice.

Analyses Leonardo's notebooks and manuscripts of Pliny's Natural History alongside jewellery and cinquecento paintings to contextualise visual representation.

Published by Routledge as part of the AVISTA Studies in the History of Medieval Technology, Science and Art series.

Covers the period 1200-1550, addressing fundamental questions about medieval and early modern scientific illustration and knowledge transmission.

Explores why medical and natural history illustrations do not resemble their subjects and their actual usefulness in teaching and practice.
