Arabic into Latin (Or, Why Medical Schools Got Started)

In medieval Europe medicine was a craft, not a subject that could be studied from books, until the twelfth century, when Latins discovered in Arabic manuscripts this new source for medicine knowledge, translated them into their own language, and made them the basis for a new invention, the medical school, with a set curriculum, examinations, and degrees. Please join us at 5:30pm for light refreshments followed by the lecture at 6pm.
