English Medicine in the Anglo-Saxon Times is a book consisting of two lectures delivered by Joseph Frank Payne in 1903 as part of the Fitz-Patrick Lectures series. The book explores the state of medicine in England during the Anglo-Saxon era, which spanned from the fifth to the eleventh century. Payne discusses the medical practices, beliefs, and knowledge of the time, drawing from primary sources such as manuscripts and archaeological finds. He covers topics such as the use of herbs and other natural remedies, surgical techniques, and the role of physicians and healers in Anglo-Saxon society. The lectures provide a fascinating insight into the history of medicine and the development of medical knowledge in England during the early medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
