Two medieval doctors: Gilbertus Anglicus (c1180-c1250) and John of Gaddesden (1280-1361)
Biographies of medieval English doctors are uncommon and fragmentary. The two best-known English medieval physicians were Gilbertus Anglicus and John of Gaddesden. This paper brings together the known details of their lives, compiled from extant biographies and from internal references in their texts. The primary records of their writings exist in handwritten texts and thereafter in incunabula from the time of the invention of printing in 1476. The record of the lives of these two medieval physicians can be expanded, as here, by the general perspective of the life and times in which they lived. Gilbertus Anglicus, an oftenquoted physician-teacher at Montpellier, wrote a seven-folio Compendium medicinae in 1271. He described pioneering procedures used later in the emergent disciplines of anaesthetics, cosmetic medicine and travel medicine. Gilbertus' texts, used extensively in European medical schools, passed in handwritten copies from student to student and eventually were printed in 1510. John of Gaddesden, an Oxford graduate in Arts, Medicine and Theology, wrote Rosa Anglica, published circa 1314. Its detailed text is an exemplar of the mixture of received Hippocratic and Galenic lore compounded by medieval astronomy and religious injunction, which mixture was the essence of medieval medicine. The writings of both these medieval English physicians formed part of the core curriculum that underpinned the practice of medicine for the next 400 years

Aborda a relevĂąncia dos arquivos histĂłricos dos museus como fontes documentais para o desenvolvimento de estudos sobre os pĂșblicos. Analisa o processo de construção do conhecimento sobre a relação dos museus com os seus diversos visitantes e usuĂĄrios, contextualizando o surgimento dos pĂșblicos como categoria de entendimento e objeto de estudo nas ciĂȘncias sociais. Apresenta, como importante subsĂdio para as pesquisas nesta temĂĄtica, o Guia de fontes primĂĄrias: o Museu Nacional - seu pĂșblico no sĂ©culo XIX e no inĂcio do XX, elaborado por Luciana SepĂșlveda Köptcke e Marcelle Pereira. O guia de fontes consiste em ferramenta de orientação capaz de expandir o significado dos fundos documentais, revelando a natureza e o grau de importĂąncia atribuĂdos aos diferentes pĂșblicos pela instituição.<br>The article explores to what extent historical archives at museums may serve as documental sources in developing audience research. It analyzes the process by which we construct our knowledge of the relation between museums and their different visitors and also contextualizes the emergence of 'audience' as a category and object of study by the social sciences. The article presents Luciana SepĂșlveda Köptcke and Marcelle Pereira's Guia de fontes primĂĄrias: o Museu Nacional - seu pĂșblico no sĂ©culo XIX e no inĂcio do XX (Guide of primary sources: the National Museum - its audience in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries), a valuable research tool that can enhance the significance of documental fonds and reveal the nature and import assigned to different audiences by these institutions
