The Middle Ages The Middle Ages www.bl.uk/the-middle-ages Teachers’ Notes Curriculum subject: History Key Stage: 2, 3 or 4 Theme: The Middle Ages Topic: Medieval medicine Rationale Medieval medical treatises provide a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practises concerning health, illness, surgery and disease in the Middle Ages. The British Library holds a wealth of medical texts from this period that can form the basis of an activity that explores medieval medicine. This lesson uses a range of primary sources and puts students in the shoes of medieval patients and practitioners. This activity can be differentiated for Key Stage 2 children who may be looking at a study of medicine through time as part of a chronological unit. It could also form part of a study of the medieval period in Key Stage 3, or part of a GCSE course on medicine through time. Content Historical sources: Source Use Zodiac chart Supernatural beliefs Zodiac Man Supernatural beliefs Examining Urine Scientific diagnostic practice Trepanning operation Surgery Fistula Operation Surgery Apothecary Shop Herbal remedies Caesarean section operation Surgery The British Library | www.bl.uk/the-middle-ages 1 Medicinal Plants Herbal remedies Physician and assistant mixing herbal Herbal remedies medicines Childbirth and midwifery Women in medicine Table for astrological computation of illness Supernatural beliefs Image showing doctor instructing on mixing Surgery medicine, operating on person with hands tied and use of cautery iron Doctor taking pulse Scientific diagnosis Vein Man Knowledge of anatomy Herbal showing properties of buttercups Herbal Remedies Deaths from Pestilence Black Death/disease Black Death Account Black Death impact Recommended reading (short articles): Medicine, diagnosis and treatment in the Middle Ages by Alixe Bovey Key questions What was it like to be a doctor or a patient in the Middle Ages? What did medieval people believe about the cause, treatment and cure of disease and illness? How advanced was medieval medicine? Were medieval doctors believed to be trustworthy? Activities A medieval doctor’s surgery (dressing up and scene setting are optional!) 1.) Set the scene: Use an old lab coat or art apron and smear with black, brown and red paint to look dirty. Fill some cups with apple juice or old tea. Borrow some rusty looking tools from the site manager, taking care to adhere to health and safety rules, and also have these on display. Welcome students to the St. Thomas Becket (controversial) memorial hospital (or use another name). Explain that you are almost ready for the hoards of patients that you will see today, although you still haven’t got rid of the urine you were testing yesterday yet. Explain that you will sell this to the lady in the village who dyes wool. Urine is particularly good for the process. Explain that you need to get your tools ready in case you have to carry out any operations. Pretend to clean your The British Library | www.bl.uk/the-middle-ages 2 tools by wiping them with your dirty coat/apron. Get out your medical observation notebook and talk about the fact that a true physician bases his work on observation of his patients. Then say a prayer and check the position of the planets to ensure they are aligned for todays’ patients. 2.) Following this introduction, carry out a short question and answer session with students. What is wrong here? How likely are you to survive if you get sick? Was medieval medical knowledge and practice really like this? Divide the class into two groups – doctors and patients. Each doctor should be given print outs of the sources listed at the start of this plan. The patients should be given the list of ailments and symptoms. Once paired up the patients should explain their symptoms to the doctor, who, using the print outs should make a diagnosis and recommend a course of action or treatment, which the patients write down. The patients should then consult with another doctor – and once again, make a note of the diagnosis and treatment. As a class encourage patients to share their illnesses, symptoms and diagnoses. Did the doctors accurately identify the illness? What were the recommended courses of treatment? Did they both agree? What are the likely side effects or implications of this treatment? As a class ask the doctors what they found difficult about the task. What sources did they use to diagnose the illness? How useful were they? Introduce the idea that these sources draw upon both the natural and supernatural . Ask your students to identify one of each of these. Discussion 3.) The zodiac chart clearly shows continued belief in the work of the Ancient Greek physicians, Galen and Hippocrates; yet this kind of knowledge would have been confined to highly educated people. These sources represent the height of medical knowledge at the time and are not necessarily representative of medical practice used by the majority. They would instead have routinely used herbs and probably resorted to praying and/or magical charms and spells. In addition, we do not know who is copying these texts. Monks often copied books, but the church had a difficult relationship with medicine. Many texts were also translated indicating room for error or misinterpretation. Also there are no images indicating the use of the occult or occult herbalism which was also common practice at the time. Why might this be? Where do the majority of these sources come from? (Europe). Is this level of medical knowledge indicative of knowledge throughout the world? 4.) Set the students a short research task to find out about the contributions of Rhazes, Ibn Nafis and Avicenna to medicine. 5.) Examine with students a quote from Italian poet Petrarch in which he writes about the Pope being ill: “I know that doctors are at your bedside and this fills me with fear. Their opinions are always conflicting…in order to make a name for themselves they gamble with our lives. They learn their art at our expense. O most gentle father, look upon them as a band of enemies.” 6.) Students are now ready for the debate: was Petrarch right to mistrust medieval doctors? Students should answer this referring to the sources they have encountered as The British Library | www.bl.uk/the-middle-ages 3 evidence. The most able students will also be able to set what they have learnt about medieval medical practice into the context of the time i.e. it may not have been good, but there were many factors in Europe that prevented further medical knowledge from developing, not least because religious rules at the time forbade the dissection of corpses to learn more about the human body and there were no microscopes to see or detect germs. Medical knowledge in the Arab world, while not completely accurate, was showing greater sign of development.

The Zodiac Man in Medieval Medical Astrology by Charles Clark University of Colorado A naked male figure was a familiar illustration in many medieval and Renaissance manuscripts. Standing with his legs and arms slightly spread, the twelve images or names of the zodiac were superimposed on his body, from his head (Aries) to his feet (Pisces). Used as a quick reference by physicians, barber-surgeons, and even laymen, the figure indicated the part of the body which was "ruled" by a specific sign of the zodiac. Once the correct sign was determined for the particular part of the body, the proper time for surgery, bloodletting, administration of medication, or even the cutting of hair and nails could be found. This depended, above all, upon the position of the moon in the heavens, since it was a medieval commonplace attributed to the astronomer Ptolemy (ca. 150 A.D.) that one touched neither with iron nor with medication the part of the body in whose zodical sign the moon was at that particular moment.

    Alisha Meininghaus Born under a Lucky Star Interpretations of Woodcuts of Pseudo-astrological Birth Amulets from German-Jewish Printing Houses in the 18th Century Abstract This article examines illustrations of the zodiac signs on birth amulets from Ger- man-Jewish printing houses from the 18th century. These woodcuts are part of a long tradition of astrological references in Jewish art and literature. However, the amulet texts themselves do not contain any astrological topics. What, then, is the relationship of the woodcuts to the text and to the function of the amulets? By contextualizing the images with other contemporary traditions of illustration, this article provides three interpretation models which can explain the choice of the zodiac signs on the amulets. Keywords Woodcuts, Amulets, Zodiac Signs, Astrology, Judaism, Magic Biography Alisha Meininghaus is a doctoral candidate in the Department of the Study of Religions at the Philipps University of Marburg. Her dissertation focuses on German-Jewish birth amulets in the 18th and 19th centuries. She is a fellow of the Leo Baeck Programme of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes and the Leo Baeck Institute London and is an associate member of the collaborative project “Dynamiken religiöser Dinge im Museum” (REDIM).

Newton had a complex, curious mind. In addition to inventing calculus and discovering the universal law of gravity, he was interested in alchemy (the quest to turn ordinary metals into gold), the Bible, and astrology. When his friend Edmund Halley (after whom the comet is named) made a disparaging remark about it, Newton, a conserv- ative Capricorn, shot right back, “Sir, I have studied the subject. You have not.” Or so the story goes. Like every other astrologer, I like to think that story might be true. After all, astrologyCOPYRIGHTED has faded in and out of fashion, MATERIAL but it has never lacked followers. Catherine de Medici had Nostradamus as her astrologer, Queen Elizabeth I consulted John Dee, and other astrologers advised Napoleon, George Washington, J. P. Morgan, and Ronald Reagan. Yet in all that time, no one has provided a satisfying explanation as to why astrology works. Over the cen- turies, proponents of the ancient art have suggested that gravity must be the motor of astrology . or electromagnetism . or the metaphysical “law of correspondences.” Carl G.
