    Abortion in the Early Medieval West, C.500-900

    „Alienated from the womb‟: abortion in the early medieval West, c.500-900 Zubin Mistry University College, London PhD Thesis 2011 1 I, Zubin Mistry, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is primarily a cultural history of abortion in the early medieval West. It is a historical study of perceptions, rather than the practice, of abortion. The span covered ranges from the sixth century, when certain localised ecclesiastical initiatives in the form of councils and sermons addressed abortion, through to the ninth century, when some of these initiatives were integrated into pastoral texts produced in altogether different locales. The thesis uses a range of predominantly ecclesiastical texts – canonical collections, penitentials, sermons, hagiography, scriptural commentaries, but also law- codes – to bring to light the multiple ways in which abortion was construed, experienced and responded to as a moral and social problem. Although there is a concerted focus upon the ecclesiastical tradition on abortion, a focus which ultimately questions how such a tradition ought to be understood, the thesis also explores the broader cultural significance of abortion. Early medieval churchmen, rulers, and jurists saw multiple things in abortion and there were multiple perspectives upon abortion. The thesis illuminates the manifold and, occasionally, surprising ways in which abortion was perceived in relation to gender, sexuality, politics, theology and the church. The history of early medieval abortion has been largely underwritten. Moreover, it has been inadequately historicised.

    Collecting for Russia's Apothecary and Botanical

    SEEDS OF EXCHANGE: COLLECTING FOR RUSSIA’S APOTHECARY AND BOTANICAL GARDENS IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES BY RACHEL KOROLOFF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John W. Randolph, Chair Professor Mark D. Steinberg Professor Richard W. Burkhardt Associate Professor Kelly O’Neill Abstract This dissertation follows the collection and cultivation of plants in the Russian Empire for medicinal and botanical purposes from the beginning of the seventeenth to the end of the eighteenth centuries. It focuses on the itineraries of collection and the spaces of cultivation established by herbalists, doctors, and naturalists in the employ of the Apothecary (Medical) Chancellery and the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. In doing so it investigates how methods of botanical collection, including specific itineraries, influenced the creation spaces of botanical cultivation, including gardens, collections of correspondence and regional Floras. This juxtaposition and analysis of the mutual influence between routes and gardens ultimately attempts to explore how mobility and space intersected with the production of natural knowledge in the early modern Russian context. The first chapter of this dissertation, “Travniki and the Chancellery,” details the seventeenth-century network of itinerant herbalists [travniki] who collected plants, flowers, roots and seeds seasonally for the Apothecary Chancellery’s pharmacies and gardens. The travels of the Chancellery’s travniki are contrasted with the trade in materia medica, which included medicinal plants as well as chemical medicines, found in the herb stalls [zeleinye riady] of Moscow’s trading quarters.

Non-Clinical Specialties NHL Significance: • Apothecary Edward Stabler moved his shop into a newly constructed building at 107 South Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia, in 1805 and later expanded his business into the adjacent building (105 S. Fairfax Street). Like many nineteenth-century drug store owners, Edward Stabler and his successors engaged not only in retail pharmacy, but also in wholesale drug sales and the production of proprietary medicines. The business was continuously run by the family until 1933, when the Leadbeater Drug Corporation, run by Edward Stabler’s great-grandsons, filed for bankruptcy and closed the business. • The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop is nationally significant in the history of pharmacy in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly the evolution of drug stores and the changing role of pharmacists. The history of this apothecary shop and its buildings illustrates how drug stores and pharmacists were affected by important National Park System Advisory Board 1 developments in the history of pharmacy, such as professionalization, state licensing regulations, the rise of patent medicines, the development of industrial drug research and manufacturing, and early federal drug laws. Integrity: • The two buildings of the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop retain a high degree of integrity, particularly with regard to interior elements, which are unique to pharmacies.
  • The Rise of Professional Pharmacy in Islam

    The Rise of Professional Pharmacy in Islam

    THE RISE OF PROFESSIONAL PHARMACY IN ISLAM by SAMI HAMARNEH THE emergence ofprofessional pharmacy in medieval Islam as a separate entity from medicine has followed almost the same pattern of development as that which modelled other branches of the health field during this period. But difficulty arose from the fact that there was no clear governmental legislation to prohibit the pharmacist from diagnosing and giving medical treatment to his customers or to restrict the physician from compounding and dispensing drugs to his patients. The charlatan and uncultured from both professions," not only in rural areas but also in cities, prevented pharmacy from attaining professional status. Nevertheless, in larger hospitals and centres close to governmental supervision retail pharmacists as well as those in hospital and government service enjoyed recognition and prestige. The seventh century saw the institution and the expansion of the Arabic empire and the wide spread ofthe new faith, Islam, as the spiritual force behind it. In the early eighth century, Arabic military power reached its climax under the Umayyad dynasty in Damascus. Then the Abbasids took over (750-1258), and the centre ofactiv'ity moved from Syria to Iraq, where a new era ofcultural progress shortly started. Under Caliph al-Mansufr (754-75), medicine as well as other fields oflearning had a strong impetus to develop. With no discrimination for reasons of race or faith, the Caliph encouraged physicians, astronomers, mathematicians, architects and other learned men to cultivate their talents and help to advance intellectual pursuits. Notwithstanding, the first eight years of al-Mans.ir's reign were spent in labouring to stabilize and consolidate the Empire.

As a country physically remote from large urban medi- cal centers, and with few large towns, Wales has often been overlooked in terms of medical commerce. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that Welsh apothecaries participated in broad and sophisticated networks of trade with London suppliers. Moreover, their shops contained a wide range of medicines from herbal simples to exotic ingredients and chemical preparations, highlighting the availability of such goods far from large urban centers. Keywords: Wales, apothecaries, medicine, medical marketplace, towns, retailing In recent years, historians have reopened conceptual debates about the “medical marketplace” and its usefulness for understanding retail and con- sumption. Recent essays by Mark Jenner and Patrick Wallis, for example, have questioned how this model is defined, deployed, and understood, exploring issues such as domestic medical economies, the impact of print, Im a very grateful to those who have provided helpful advice and comments in preparing this article.
