PSMEMM: Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine

The Centre for the Study of Medicine and the Body in the Renaissance (CSMBR) is seeking proposals for the new series 


PALGRAVE STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN MEDICINE
edited by Jonathan Barry (University of Exeter, United Kingdom) and Fabrizio Bigotti (Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany).

The series provides a high-quality outlet for academic monographs and edited collections devoted to the history of medicine in the period 1100-1800. It pays particular attention to 

• intellectual history and history of ideas
• history and philosophy of science
• history of medicine and technology 
• history of medical institutions
• medical biographies 
• mutual bearings between medical humanities and the arts (including but not limited to music and architecture).

Further topics include:

• history of medical traditions and practices
• philosophy of medicine and biology 
• 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/practices around the Mediterranean, especially Arabic and Hebrew. The Editors 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).

The series hosts also a section with books from young authors, selected under the international scheme Santorio Award for Excellence in Research and the editors particularly welcome proposals from early career researchers.
