Beschreibung

'Medicines for Horses' is a Middle English treatise on the properties, training, and diseases of horses. The text provides valuable insight into the treatment of horses in medieval and early modern England, but has received little attention from modern scholars. It is extant in twelve manuscripts, most of which were produced in the mid to late fifteenth century, and two printings by Wynkyn de Worde. This edition is the first to take into account all known witnesses to the text. The Introduction includes an account of the treatise and its contents, and provides a detailed assessment of the relationships among the witnesses. The edited text is followed by the apparatus and a commentary that addresses textual elements and specialist terminology. The glossary contains previously unrecorded linguistic items and unusual terms.
