This is a fascinating 21st century account of Myddfai and a family of Welsh physicians who, according to mythology, had acquired their skills magically. The mythical elements go back into prehistory but the Physicians of Myddfai were real doctors who chose to write their own medical textbook in Welsh at a time when Latin was the established language of learning. Their book acknowledging Greek, Roman and Arab medical literature shows the breadth of culture in Wales at this time. Their words were preserved in Welsh manuscripts together with tales of magic and romance and might have died with them but centuries later were translated into English by a titled Englishwoman, Lady Charlotte Guest. This brought Welsh medieval culture to a wider English audience including Tennyson and her translation of the Mabinogion was an inspiration and source for his Idylls of the Kings. Another of the contributors to the record of the Physician's work was Iolo Morganwg, whose many contributions to Welsh culture were denigrated by some scholars in the 20th century as forgery. As he is the man who gave to Wales its cultural highlight, the National Eisteddfod he cannot be ignored so he too is considered in some detail in a separate chapter.This book goes much further than a mere retelling of ancient medical skills and remedies but details the status and regulation of doctors or mediciners first laid down in the 10th century Laws of Hywel Dda and the ongoing mayhem in Wales - the infighting between the Welsh Princes and the battles for Welsh independence against the Norman and English kings. It also considers the nature of the therapeutic properties of the herbal medicines used by the Physicians as revealed by modern analysis and pays a tribute to the community spirit of present day Myddfai , stiill strong and welcoming although at present (in 2018) without even one resident NHS physician!

MIRACLES, MAGIC, AND MEDICINE is a study of medical frustrationthe inability of the physician to dispense medicine that worked. Hundreds of biological medications were prescribed but no more than five or six actually improved the patients condition. As a result, patients turned to miracles, magicians, witch doctors, astrology, and the church. For almost a thousand years, the churchs answer to disease was prayer. Spirits, angels, and demons lurked everywhere. The Antichrist practiced witchcraft and sorcery, and soothsayers predicted the future. Flagellation was practiced, and magician with their smoke and mirrors, held sway. Among the Romans, cabbage was the cure for all disorders, and eating the herb dittany could extract an arrow. It was only with the age of science that effective medications were discovered. Those practicing witchcraft were accused of intimately consorting with the devil and his demons, even having sex with them.

This book addresses magical ideas and practices in early modern Norway. It examines a large corpus of Norwegian manuscripts from 1650-1850 commonly called Black Books which contained a mixture of recipes on medicine, magic, and art. Ane Ohrvik assesses the Black Books from the vantage point of those who wrote the manuscripts and thus offers an original study of how early modern magical practitioners presented their ideas and saw their practices. The book show how the writers viewed magic and medicine both as practical and sacred art and as knowledge worth protecting through encoding the text. The study of the Black Books illuminates how ordinary people in Norway conceptualized magic as valuable and useful knowledge worth of collecting and saving despite the ongoing witchcraft prosecutions targeting the very same ideas and practices as the books promoted. Medicine, Magic and Art in Early Modern Norway is essential for those looking to advance their studies in magical beliefs and practices in early modern Europe as well as those interested in witchcraft studies, book history, and the history of knowledge.
