Medieval Medical Recipes : Philosophical treatises and medical tracts and recipes
This 15th-century English manuscript contains a collection of philosophical treatises, and medical tracts and recipes, largely
Medieval women were responsible for the healthcare of their households and practiced medicine within their communities, but their names were rarely recorded. The digitisation project #CuriousCures aims to bring their medical practices to light! Below: Trinity College, MS O.2.48
Finally, there is a recipe against jaundice that is associated with “Lady Elizabeth Scrope” (Jesus College, MS Q.G.25). Elizabeth would have tried the medicine, involving milk mixed with the powder of red sandalwood, on herself when she was pregnant. @JesusCollegeCam
Next is a recipe for removing warts that was used by “Clawdius the woman from Cottingham” (Trinity College, MS R.14.52), featuring black pepper, honey, and chamomile oil among other ingredients! @TrinCollLibCam
On #InternationalWomensDay, #CuriousCures puts the spotlight on three women medical practitioners! First up is a plaster against gout that is attributed to "Mistress Roppysley" and "Mistress Wallwyn" (CUL, MS Ee.1.15) involving beeswax, peach, clove, mace, saffron, and red wine.
I might yet build my dream shed ;-) Seriously if anyone with limited woodworking knowledge is looking for a course run by inspiring, supportive tutors I would highly recommend this one when @centre_alt_tech re-run it.
Hope everyone had as much fun on the ‘Build a Shed – For Absolute Beginners’ course as we did! Thanks to the tutors Emma and Katharine and to all those that came along.
My idea of heaven chocolate torte with raspberries, and a cuppa... Sitting by a canal boat near King's Cross :-)
Parker Library on the web allows for easy comparison with other digitised manuscripts - useful tool for researchers #camlibs18
After Stephen Hawkins thesis was made open access and the ensuing media interest there was an upsurge of alumni wanting to deposit open access copies of their thesis #camlibs18
Tea with the Librarian -one taker. Tea with the library cat, tickets sold out I’m two hours! #camlibs18
Instructing others a good way of improving own skills too, worth remembering not just for #librarycarpentry #camlibs18
Library Carpentry make everything visible so changes can be seen and community can adjust the shell of the lessons for continuous improvement #camlibs18 #CLP1C
The Library Carpentry sessions are available under Creative Commons, it's possible to use them to teach yourself. All of them have a focus on real life tasks. #CLP1C #camlibs18
Regular expressions, and open refine. Powerful tools to use data. #librarycarpentry courses can instantly be used in ‘real-life’ examples in daily work #camlibs18
fundamentals of @LibCarpentry - writing the code live, not just teachers standing in front of static slides #CLP1C #camlibs18
What started as “librarians keep turning up at our workshops, is it worth tailoring something specifically for them” has spawned many courses around the world - a great success #camlibs18
#librarycarpentry based on software carpentry and data carpentry ... hence the name #camlibs18
Or even #CLP1C
