This fine book is a compilation of lore related to the development and standards of medicine through the entirety of the Middle Ages, with a heavy focus on surgical techniques and medical literature- often, in the latter, of an herbal nature. It contains some fascinating history about the Salerno school, the practitioners of Montpellier, the herbals written by Italian, English, and French scholars, and the role of women in medicine with especial note of the Benedictine order and their formation of hospitals, medical academies, and asylums for the insane.

The Magic of the Middle Ages: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is Rydberg's finest- an academic compilation of subjects ranging from a treatment of the burning times, and of religious philosophy (dualism, specifically) to short passages on some cryptids of note, to various meanderings through the high ritual magick and alchemy of the era spoken of. Clearly hostile to Catholic lore, Rydberg manages to choke back his disdain of that church long enough to give it a fair shake at explaining its constant pogroms through especially the era of King James.

Its third section is a strange sort of quasi-fictional tale involving a group of men time traveling to the dark ages and confronting a sorcerer who is under the belief that he himself conjured them, written partly in the first person.
