5.0 out of 5 stars A thorough and readable account!, January 27, 2007

Nine years ago, a question slipped among a fascinating meeting about the heroism, viewed from all the possible angles: Does the science produce heroes? Instantaneously I replied: yes, indeed. The astronomy and medicine are notably the maxim exponents in this sense. If not, it's better to recall you Giordano Bruno ( who moments before to be ignited in Fiore's camp pronounced those unforgettable words: "I receive this sentence with less fear than those who made it. Because a day will come in what men of tomorrow will see what I see.") and Miguel de Servet who stoically offered their lives against the mainstream of those ages.

Faye Getz explores a vast number of historical sources and conveys us through the wide variety of the different aspects concerned with practice of medicine in the medieval Britain.

Absolutely indispensable in your personal library.
