By Joseph Frank Payne

Book Overview

""English Medicine in the Anglo-Saxon Times"" is a book that consists of two lectures delivered by Joseph Frank Payne in 1903 as part of the Fitz-Patrick Lectures series. The lectures explore the history of medicine in England during the Anglo-Saxon period, which lasted from the 5th century to the Norman Conquest in 1066. Payne discusses the medical practices and beliefs of the Anglo-Saxons, including their use of herbal remedies, surgical techniques, and their understanding of disease and the human body. He also examines the influence of Christianity on Anglo-Saxon medicine and the role of women as healers during this time. The book provides a fascinating insight into the history of medicine and the development of medical knowledge in England during the early medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
