Renée R. Trilling, Angus Cameron Professor of Old English, Toronto: Early Medieval England boasts the earliest collection of vernacular medical texts north of the Alps. Many are translations of classical materials; others are native Old English “folk” medicine, charms, prognostics, and prayers. This lecture explores the hybrid medical discourse produced by the juxtaposition of Mediterranean and insular traditions.
