We are happy to circulate the following announcement on behalf of Agricola.
It could serve as a fun pre-amble for those interested in our Master Class
& Annual Meeting on Ancient Health (2-3 March)!
--------------------------------------------------
Dear All,
This is to invite you to an Agricolameeting on Dec. 12th, Oude
Boteringestraat 38, Courtroom, 14.30-16.30. Please note the time frame!
Prof. dr. Eliza Glaze (Professor of History at Coastal Carolina
University, USA) will give a lecture under the title of:
*“**Surprised by Joy: Scholarly Discoveries in Latin Medical Literature,
800-1200."*
Specializing in the articulation of new knowledge based upon the evidence
of medieval Latin medical manuscripts and healthscapes, Eliza's research
explores the processes by which medical knowledge was transmitted from the
ancient Mediterranean into Western Europe via classroom experiences,
textual media and contextualized practices. Her ultimate interest is
two-fold: to recover and identify the transmission, interpretations and use
of specialized material from the Mediterranean world, and to explore the
social aspects of medical thought and practice manifest in surviving
codices.
Prof. Glaze's lecture will be preceded by a masterclass from 12.00, which
is intended for REMA and PhD-students. If you would like to participate,
please tell me (e-mail Mathilde van Dijk at mathilde.van.dijk@xxxxxx).
Looking forward to meeting you all (again).
Agricola unites alle researchers in premodernity. See

Best,
Mathilde van Dijk
