This history course taught by Professor Y. Tzvi Langermann will offer a general introduction to medieval medical ideas. In addition, you will learn how clues from manuscripts help us better understand the text’s use and its history.

The manuscripts reviewed in this course are written in Judeo-Arabic and were at some point sewn between covers into a single codex.

While no previous knowledge is required, this course will be of most interest to advanced students of Jewish and medieval medicine studies in that it introduces a rare and fascinating medical text from the University of Pennsylvania’s manuscript collections.
