Title A name given to the resource Academic Texts Description An account of the resource These academic and educational works are texts that relate to the understanding and teaching of scientific knowledge. This includes subjects such as medicine, timekeeping, and healing. Many of these texts are books, while others are tablets or single manuscript leaves. Some of these works had the purpose of instructing and directing others on how to perform medicine and provide healing, while others are detailed calendars. The recording of text in the Byzantine era was very different from the current understanding of writing. Each of these pieces took a great deal of time, effort, and craftsmanship.

Title A name given to the resource Manuscript of Paulus Aegineta Medical Compendium in Seven Books Description An account of the resource This is a single leaf of a paper manuscript from a 15th-century copy of surgeon Paulus Aegineta’s Medical Compendium in Seven Books, a medical text that compiled what was written about Medicine at the time. Born in 625 AD, Paulus Aegineta was considered the father of early medical writing and the last great Byzantine physician. Here he copies a passage from Synopsis ad Eustathium by a predecessor Oribasius. At one point parchment made of animal skin was often used for manuscripts, but as many animals needed to be killed this was expensive. The transition to cheaper and more accessible allowed for more copies to be made of works like these that preserve these medical texts.
