Download or read book Medieval Welsh Medical Texts written by Diana Luft and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OPEN ACCESS To view Medieval Welsh Medical Texts for free click on the following links: https://www.uwp.co.uk/app/uploads/MWMT_final_low-res-1.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK558253/ This volume presents the first critical edition and translation of the corpus of medieval Welsh medical recipes traditionally ascribed to the Physicians of Myddfai. These offer practical treatments for a variety of everyday conditions such as toothache, constipation and gout. The recipes have been edited from the four earliest collections of Welsh medical texts in manuscript, which date from the late fourteenth century. A series of notes provides sources and analogues for the recipes, demonstrating their relationship with the European medical tradition. The identification of herbal ingredients in the recipes is based on pre-modern plant-name glossaries rather than modern dictionaries, and has led to new interpretations of many of the recipes. Comprehensive glossaries allow the reader to find any recipe based on the ingredients and equipment used in it or the condition treated. This new interpretation of these texts clearly shows that they are not unique, but rather form part of the medical tradition that was common throughout Europe during the Middle Ages.

Download or read book The Physicians of Myddfai written by Harold Selcon and published by . This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating 21st century account of Myddfai and a family of Welsh physicians who, according to mythology, had acquired their skills magically. The mythical elements go back into prehistory but the Physicians of Myddfai were real doctors who chose to write their own medical textbook in Welsh at a time when Latin was the established language of learning. Their book acknowledging Greek, Roman and Arab medical literature shows the breadth of culture in Wales at this time. Their words were preserved in Welsh manuscripts together with tales of magic and romance and might have died with them but centuries later were translated into English by a titled Englishwoman, Lady Charlotte Guest. This brought Welsh medieval culture to a wider English audience including Tennyson and her translation of the Mabinogion was an inspiration and source for his Idylls of the Kings. Another of the contributors to the record of the Physician's work was Iolo Morganwg, whose many contributions to Welsh culture were denigrated by some scholars in the 20th century as forgery. As he is the man who gave to Wales its cultural highlight, the National Eisteddfod he cannot be ignored so he too is considered in some detail in a separate chapter.This book goes much further than a mere retelling of ancient medical skills and remedies but details the status and regulation of doctors or mediciners first laid down in the 10th century Laws of Hywel Dda and the ongoing mayhem in Wales - the infighting between the Welsh Princes and the battles for Welsh independence against the Norman and English kings. It also considers the nature of the therapeutic properties of the herbal medicines used by the Physicians as revealed by modern analysis and pays a tribute to the community spirit of present day Myddfai , stiill strong and welcoming although at present (in 2018) without even one resident NHS physician!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Physicians of Myddfai"("Meddygon Myddvai" in Welsh), or "The medical practice of the celebrated Rhiwallon and his sons, of Myddfai, in Carmarthenshire, physicians to Rhys Gryg, lord of Dynevor and Ystrad Towy," was written about the middle of the 13th century. The collection of herbal remedies are associated with Rhiwallon Feddyg (eldest son of the Lady of the Lake), founder of a medical dynasty that lasted over 500 years and comes from the manuscript called the "Red Book of Hergest," a large vellum manuscript written in Welsh shortly after 1382. The manuscript derives its name from the colour of its leather binding and from its association with Hergest Court between the late 15th and early 17th century. The Physicians of Myddfai practised in the village of Myddfai near the market town of Llandovery in Wales, healing subjects with their herb lore and potions as well as their mystical powers and insight into the human condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts who want to broaden their understanding. Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work.”—Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and fascinated Westerners ever since the “Bamboo Curtain” was lifted in the early 1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and Earth, two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify this centuries-old approach to health. Harriet Beinfeld and Efrem Korngold, pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the United States for over eighteen years, explain the philosophy behind Chinese medicine, how it works and what it can do. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, Between Heaven and Earth addresses three vital areas of Chinese medicine—theory, therapy, and types—to present a comprehensive, yet understandable guide to this ancient system. Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. “Groundbreaking . . . Here at last is a complete and readable guide to Chinese medicine.”—San Francisco Chronicle
