Gilbertus Anglicus: Medicine of the Thirteenth Century
Medical Professor Henry E. Handerson is the author of this medical history novel. Drawing his inspiration from the medieval English physician Gilbertus Anglicanus, he offers a review of his most famous work, the Compendium of Medicine (Compendium Medicinæ). Handerson identifies various illnesses that Gilbertus referred to in the compendium and matches them to the modern names of the illnesses in his day. A must read book for anyone interested in medieval medical history.

Animal Languages in the Middle Ages
The essays in this interdisciplinary volume explore language, broadly construed, as part of the continued interrogation of the boundaries of human and nonhuman animals in the Middle Ages. Uniting a diverse set of emerging and established scholars, Animal Languages questions the assumed medieval distinction between humans and other animals. The chapters point to the wealth of non-human communicative and discursive forms through which animals function both as vehicles for human meaning and as agents of their own, demonstrating the significance of human and non-human interaction in medieval texts, particularly for engaging with the Other. The book ultimately considers the ramifications of deconstructing the medieval anthropocentric view of language for the broader question of human singularity.
