Tony
Hunt, ed., with Michael Benskin.
Three Receptaria from Medieval
England:
The Languages of Medicine in the Fourteenth Century.
Society for
the
Study of Mediaeval languages and Literature, 2001.
Medium Aevum Monographs,
new series no. 21.
Paperback, ISBN 0907570143.
Publisher's
recommended price £12.50
The study
represents
an edition of just over 1500 medical receipts transmitted in three
fourteenth-century
compendia. The particular interest of these multilingual compilations
lies
in their date - earlier than most publishd receipts - and their showing
the three languages of medieval England in vigorous and simultaneous
use.
The language of the Middle English receipts reveals distinctive
features
which add indispensably to our knowledge of the English language in
this
period. There are detailed indexes, including a survey of the medical
conditions
covered, and the notes provide comprehensive references to analogous
receipts
in other published collections, so shedding light on the processes of
compilation
and transmission.
