Workshop: Medical traditions in and around Byzantium

Hippokrates

Medical traditions in and around Byzantium


Munich, 14th and 15th July 2017
Ludwig Maximilian University, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1, 80539 München, Room A 017 (main building)

This workshop is jointly organized by the Departments of Byzantine studies and of the History of Medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich, in collaboration with the Institute for the Preservation of Medical Traditions in Washington, DC.
The care for the health of populations in the Byzantine World has been little explored in scholarly research, however important a component of Byzantine life it might have been. Just as in other sectors, Byzantium did not only further develop the legacy of Antiquity and transmit it to the worlds with which it was in contact, but it also received the contributions of these worlds and assimilated them in an active way in constant evolution over time. The workshop will examine the different medical traditions in and around Byzantium with the aim to lay down the basis for a renewed approach to medicine in the Eastern Mediterranean, multicultural, aggregative, and dynamic.

The Organizers: Albrecht Berger and Isabel Grimm-Stadelmann (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich) – Alain Touwaide (Institute for the Preservation of Medical Traditions, Washington, DC)
Co-funded by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, the Münchner Vereinigung für Geschichte der Medizin e. V., and the Ärztlicher Verein München e. V..
