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).

A must read book for anyone interested in medieval medical history. He also remarks on the prescribed cures to many of the diseases of the time and the important question of hygiene in dealing with infectious diseases, quite common in mediaeval times.
