Description: | Gilbert the Englishman (Gilbertus Anglicus) was an early 13th-century physician, about whom little is known. He perhaps studied at the famous medical school at Salerno, in southern Italy. Several other texts are added to Gilbert's compendium in this manuscript: a donation inscription tells us that the compilation was made by Brother John of Greenborough, who was for more than 30 years the 'infirmarius' of St. Mary's Abbey, Coventry.
Half-way down the right-hand column begins an added inscription stating that Brother John of Greenborough bought this book for the sick of the church of Coventry. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
