Synopsis
Offers a detailed description of medieval military medicine by examining treatments available to wounded crusaders. Challenging traditionally held views of medicine in the Crusades and drawing on archaeological and historical sources, it is essential reading for students of medieval medicine., This is the first book to be published on any aspect of medicine in the crusades. It will be of interest not only to scholars of the crusades specifically, but also to scholars of medieval Europe, the Byzantine world and the Islamic world. Focusing on injuries and their surgical treatment, Piers D. Mitchell considers medical practitioners, hospitals on battlefields and in towns, torture and mutilation, emergency and planned surgical procedures, bloodletting, analgesia and anesthesia. He provides an assessment of the exchange of medical knowledge that took place between East and West in the crusades, and of the medical negligence legislation for which the kingdom of Jerusalem was famous. The book presents a radical reassessment of many outdated misconceptions concerning medicine in the crusades and the Frankish states of the Latin East.

There was a tiny chip along the rim of the bowl, that may have been unnoticed by the seller, as it was rather small.

Had words with this seller because of my anger concerning forever delivery time. Seller was very professional, I WAS NOT! I should have checked my temper before contacting this seller, that is all on me. I just wish some of these sellers would offer delivery through a quicker, more reliable shipper. BTW, these bike pedals are SICK! And INCREDIBLE! Thank you!CXWXC CX-V15 Road / Mountain Bike Blue Pedals Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Pedals PAIR (N° 176154512743)
