Appendices. 330 $aThis book is the first transcription and extensive commentary on a fascinating but almost entirely overlooked manuscript compilation of medical recipes and letters, which is held in the University of Nottingham. Collected by the Marquess and Marchioness of Newcastle, William and Margaret Cavendish, during the 1640s and 1650s, this manuscript features letters of advice, recipes, and sundry philosophical and medical reflections by some of the most formidable and influential physicians, philosophers, and courtly scholars of the early seventeenth century. These include ?Europe?s physician? Theodore de Mayerne, the adventurer and courtier Kenelm Digby, and the natural philosopher, poet, and playwright Margaret Cavendish. While the transcription and accompanying annotations will allow a diverse array of readers to appreciate the manuscript for the first time, the introduction situates the Cavendishes? recipe collecting habits, medical preoccupations, natural philosophical views, and politics within their social, cultural, and philosophical contexts, and draws out some of the most significant implications of this important document. Justin Begley is a Humboldt Fellow at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München who focuses on early modern literature and intellectual history, and particularly the histories of science, medicine, and the book. Along with publishing on Cavendish, Begley has also written on major figures including Nehemiah Grew, Pierre Gassendi, Thomas Tryon, and Kenelm Digby. Benjamin Goldberg is a Associate Professor of Instruction at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. He is a historian and philosopher of science whose work focuses on the intersection of natural philosophy and medicine in late Renaissance and early modern Europe. His work ranges from studies of medical recipe collections to explorations of the history of anatomical method in William Harvey and Descartes to the idea of seeds in Jean Fernel. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine,$x2524-7395 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aWomen$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aHistory of Medicine 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aEarly Modern Philosophy 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aEarly Modern Philosophy. 615 24$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 676 $a828.409 676 $a615.13409032 700 $aBegley$b Justin$f1990-$01350700 702 $aGoldberg$b Benjamin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637704103321 996 $aThe medical world of Margaret Cavendish$93089456 997 $aUNINA
