They do not look very much like the things they purport to portray; and their actual usefulness in everyday medical practice or teaching is not obvious. By looking at works as diverse as herbals, jewellery, surgery manuals, lay health guides, cinquecento paintings, manuscripts of Pliny's Natural History, and Leonardo's notebooks, Visualizing Medieval Medicine and Natural History, 1200-1550 addresses fundamental questions about the interplay of art and science from the thirteenth to the mid-sixteenth century: What counts as a medical illustration in the Middle Ages? What are the purposes and audiences of the illustrations in medieval medical, pharmaceutical, and natural history texts? How are images used to clarify, expand, authenticate, and replace these texts? How do images of natural objects, observed phenomena, and theoretical concepts amplify texts and convey complex cultural attitudes? What features lead us to regard some of these images as typically 'medieval' while other exactly contemporary images strike us as 'Renaissance' or 'early modern' in character? Art historians, medical historians, historians of science, and specialists in manuscripts and early printed books will welcome this wide-ranging, interdisciplinary examination of the role of visualization in early scientific inquiry. 410 0$aAVISTA studies in the history of medieval technology, science and art ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aMedicine, Medieval 606 $aScience, Medieval 606 $aMedical illustration$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aBotanical illustration$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aMedicine, Medieval. 615 0$aScience, Medieval. 615 0$aMedical illustration 615 0$aBotanical illustration 676 $a610 701 $aGivens$b Jean A$g(Jean Ann),$f1947-$0314321 701 $aReeds$b Karen$0314322 701 $aTouwaide$b Alain$0314323 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154579303321 996 $aVisualizing medieval medicine and natural history, 1200-1550$92876276 997 $aUNINA
