Abstract

Medieval medical handbooks are works on practical medicine with individual and general pathology used with the works on general medicine in parallel. Self-help manuals were created mainly for those who did not have the opportunity to see a doctor, i.e. for common people, travelers, the poor, isolated religious communities, etc. Medical handbooks made medicine accessible to ordinary, needy people, since they took into account the natural remedies available in the region, which could supersede expensive and hard-to-reach medicine. They also included traditional medicine, magic and prayers.
