Abstract:
Constantinus Africanus (c. 1015–1087), likely born in modern Tunis or Sicily,
was responsible for the translation of Arabic medical texts into Latin, which
constituted a substantial contribution to contemporary knowledge in fields
such as anatomy and surgery, among others. Consequently, he was an extremely
influential and much-cited author, and his contributions were translated into
other vernacular languages, including Middle English, during the Middle Ages,
which led to the proliferation of different translations of the same treatise.
This book is a semi-diplomatic edition of the late Middle English version of
Constantinus Africanus’ Venerabilis Anatomia, which is housed in the Wellcome
Library in London (MS Wellcome 290 (ff. 1r-41v)). This version is accompanied
by an introduction, a physical description of the volume, a linguistic
analysis of the text, and a glossary. As such, this book represents a primary
source for research not only in historical linguistics, but also in other
related fields, including the history of medicine.
