Exhibition talk: Medicine on the Move: The introduction of ingredients and information in the early medieval west

Dr Claire Burridge shares her research on early medieval medical recipes, highlighting the appearance of non-local ingredients that were unrecorded in classical medical writings. To what extent does the inclusion of exotic ingredients, such as ambergris and camphor, shed light on the movement of medical knowledge?

Part of our latest exhibition from Manuscripts and Special Collections, 'Plants and Prayers: health and healing before 1700' at the Weston Gallery Lakeside Arts, open from Thursday 30 March until 3 September and with an extensive programme of events surrounding it.
