Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine
is a series sponsored by the Centre for the Study of Medicine and the Body in the Renaissance (CSMBR),
Pisa which provides an outlet for academic monographs and edited collections devoted
to the history of medicine in the period 1100-1800. The series will pay particular
attention to intellectual history and history of ideas, including the
history and philosophy of science, medicine and technology, history of
medical institutions, medical biographies as well as mutual bearings
between medical humanities and the arts (including
music and architecture). Further topics include history of medical traditions and
practices, philosophy of medicine and publications of medical correspondences and
archival documents. The emphasis of the series lies on European and
Western cultures widely construed, including interactions with, and
borrowings from other cultures/traditions around the Mediterranean,
especially Arabic and Hebrew. The Editors will
also welcome proposals for commented translations (if particularly
relevant, even on a large scale) of medical and scientific texts into
English (examples of original languages accepted are Greek, Latin,
Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Syriac, as well as European
vernaculars).
Starting from 2020,
Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine will host a section with books
from young authors selected under the international scheme Santorio Award for Excellence in Research,
which will award three of the best PhD theses in history of medicine
and science with a cash prize a medal, a certificate and the opportunity
to publish in the new series. Further details will soon be available at
