Hello @JBPiggin. Happy to tell you more. A project has been on-going for more than 10 years to identify all Latin medical MSS in long 12thC

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

Project picks up where Beccaria's 1956 survey of 9-11C MSS left off. (See citation.) So why is long 12thC (1075-1225) important? @JBPiggin pic.twitter.com/24Wsdsivjt

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

Because in this period Latin medicine transformed in several v. important ways. 1) rediscovered old Latin translations (eg Hipp.) @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

2) Started editing many of these old transs (eg alphabetizing old Dioscorides and recipe collections). Urb. lat. 1383 is example. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

3) This was also period of Constantine the African's transs. from Arabic. Trans'd at least 24 diff. texts, incl. De urina cited. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

4) Also in S. Italy (perhaps also at @M_C_A_B_B_E_Y) several medical texts were trans'd from Greek. Together, new editions + … @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

5) + new transs. laid foundation for new medical corpus of 12thC, which is what work at "school" of Salerno was based on. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

6) In 2nd half of 12thC, more transs. were made: Burgundio of Pisa trans'd from Greek; Gerard of Cremona trans'd from Arabic. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

7) My current list of "long 12thC" medical MSS currently has 550 items. More to be discovered, w/ digitization projects. @JBPiggin
