💨 Abstract

The Cambridge University Library is hosting an exhibition, Curious Cures: Medicine In The Medieval World, showcasing unusual treatments from medieval manuscripts. One such treatment, found in a 15th Century manuscript, suggests an infertility cure using weasel testicles and mouse-ear plant. Medieval medicine was guided by elaborate ideas about the body and its connection to the cosmos, and it was practiced by various people, not just university-educated doctors.
