"[This] edition places in our hands a medical book that looks two
ways: toward the massive Latin compilation of Gilbertus, whose
rhetoric of medicine comes through surprisingly unfiltered, and
toward the 'practices' of medicine mediated in English during the
fifteenth-century."--Lea Olsan, Studies in the Age of Chaucer
"A book that will continue to be consulted for a very long time and
will be of as much interest to medical historians as to scholars of
Middle English."--Peter Murray Jones, Bulletin of the History of
Medicine
