Drawing on the wealth of medical illustration to be found in medieval manuscripts, Peter Murray Jones traces the history of medieval medicine, the artistic traditions which shaped its depiction and the changing attitudes and beliefs of both medical and artistic practitioners. This beautifully produced book is a revised, colour-illustrated version of the long out-of-print Medieval Medical Miniatures first published by The British Library in 1984. Some of the manuscripts illustrated are famous because of the quality of their design and splendour of illumination, but most medical illustration was not work of such refinement and consequently has been largely ignored by historians of art. For the historian of medicine, however, these ordinary manuscripts are just as interesting as the select few because they tell so much of what it must have been like to study and practise the healing arts in medieval times, as well as providing evidence of the changing role of the book in medicine. The colour reproductions presented here reveal the extraordinary range and diversity in subject-matter and style of these illustrations. Peter Murray Jones provides the context, considering each picture as an integral part of the manuscript in which it is found, and interpreting it as a document of medical history.

Lorenzi (Firenze 1880 - Parigi 1964) è stato uno dei più brillanti e gustosi illustratori di libri e riviste prodotte dalla editoria francese nei magici primi decenni del XX secolo. Egli occupò a Parigi, fra il 1910 e il 1935, una posizione di primo piano all'interno del movimento Déco come illustratore delle più prestigiose riviste di moda e d'intrattenimento: Le Rire, Gazette du Bon Ton, Le Journal des Dames et des Modes, Les Elégances parisiennes, Le Sourire, Fémina, La Vie parisienne e altre ancora. Egli illustrò inoltre una trentina di libri e creo molte pagine pubblicitarie e disegni di tessuti confrontandosi in questo e negli altri campi coi più dotati artisti del tempo, da Barbier, a Benito, Brunelleschi, Cappiello, Lepape e altri oltre a Léon Bonnotte, Albert Chazelle, Georges Léonnec, Georges Pavis, Val'Es, Armand Vallée per citarne alcuni.
