Gestorben Im 2. Jahrtausend - Bockstensmann, Trotula, Alphonsus Requisens (English, German, Paperback)

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Trotula can refer to Trotula of Salerno (11th-12th centuries) or the Trotula texts. Trotula of Salerno was a female physician who worked in Salerno, Italy. Several writings about women's health have been attributed to her, including Diseases of Women, Treatments for Women, and Women's Cosmetics. In medieval Europe, these texts were a major source for information on women's health. Diseases of Women, Treatments for Women, and Women's Cosmetics are usually referred to collectively as The Trotula. This is misleading because there is no evidence that Diseases of Women and Women's Cosmetics were actually written by Trotula; these two texts circulated anonymously until they were combined with Treatments for Women sometime in the thirteenth century. Treatments for Women bears Trotula's name. By the end of the thirteenth century, the collection of the three texts was known as The Trotula. For the next several hundred years, The Trotula circulated throughout Europe, reaching its greatest popularity in the fourteenth century. Twenty-nine copies exist today. Only two other texts by Trotula survive. She was one of seven Salerno physicians who contributed to an encyclopedia of medical knowledge, On the Treatment of Illnesses. Her excerpt was later published separately as Practical Medicine According to Trota. These two texts and Treatments for Women are the only three texts bearing Trotula's name. Little is known of Trotula's life. She is believed to have been a physician at the so-called School of Salerno. The medieval scholar Caspar Wolff asserted that the Trotula texts were actually written by a man, a freed Roman slave. Two feminist historians, Elizabeth Mason-Hohl and Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead, wrote about Trotula in the 1930s/40s. Both women made false and unsupported elaborations about Trotula's life, leading to misconceptions that last to this day. It is not known exactly when Trotula lived,...http://booksllc.net/?l=de
