Subject: 15th Century Midwifery.
Dear Midwifery-Research List members,
Those of you interested in historical aspects of midwifery may wish to know about a Medieval manuscript originating from Italy, 1444. The manuscript was written by a Dominican nun for Maria
of Castile as a book of advice and instruction on all aspects of midwifery, including: conception, pregnancy, miscarriage, gynaecological complications, labour, childbirth, herbal remedies and parenting. As such, the manuscript contains a good deal of information
useful for scholarly cross-referencing and general research.
A peer-reviewed paper will be formally published in a journal 2019. In the meantime, three draft papers are available to freely download from the preprint linguistics
website LingBuzz:
The first paper explains the writing system and language: http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003737
The second paper translates a pictorial map from the manuscript: http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/003808
The third paper focuses on volcanological details from the map: https://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/004381
Please disseminate this information to other scholars who may find it useful.
Regards,
Dr. G. E. Cheshire,
University of Bristol.
