Abstract

It has been argued that narrative elements can be found throughout the history of English scientific writing. Narratives can be linked to specific genres; thus, learned texts for medical doctors were different from those directed to lay audiences (Taavitsainen, 2022). This article sets out to analyse a specific type of medical narrative, that of recipe collections, focusing for the purpose on the text housed in London, Wellcome Library, MS 213. The manuscript dates from the beginning of the seventeenth century (1606, more specifically) and gathers recipes “experienced and tryed by the speciall practize of Mrs Corlyon” (Moorat, 1962-1973).[1] The codex belonged to Alethea Howard (née Talbot), Countess of Arundel. The main aim of the study is to identify and examine narrative forms and functions as well as particular features in the collection of recipes held in MS Wellcome 213, which can contribute to the knowledge of recipes written by and for women during the early modern period.   [1] This has been taken from the database description of the Library Catalogue of the Wellcome Collection, available at https://wellcomecollection.org/works/u3w8qbrt (date of access: February 2023).
叙事学在早期现代医学手稿:伦敦的情况下,惠康图书馆,MS 213
人们一直认为,叙事元素可以在英语科学写作的整个历史中找到。叙事可以与特定类型相关联;因此,针对医生的学术文本不同于针对非专业观众的文本(Taavitsainen, 2022)。本文着手分析一种特定类型的医学叙事,即配方集合,重点放在伦敦,惠康图书馆,MS 213的文本上。这份手稿可以追溯到17世纪初(更确切地说是1606年),并收集了“由Corlyon夫人专门实践的经验和尝试”的食谱(Moorat, 1962-1973)这本手抄本属于阿伦德尔伯爵夫人阿莱西娅·霍华德。该研究的主要目的是识别和检查叙事形式和功能,以及在MS Wellcome 213中保存的食谱集合中的特定特征,这可以有助于了解近代早期女性撰写和为女性撰写的食谱。[1]这是从威康馆藏图书馆目录的数据库描述中提取的,该目录可在https://wellcomecollection.org/works/u3w8qbrt上获得(访问日期:2023年2月)。
