As part of this discussion, they often noted that\u0000 men and women were infertile in extreme youth and old age. Although\u0000 medieval medical views of infertility have received scholarly attention,\u0000 these references to age and infertility have not been analysed. This chapter\u0000 traces these references in a range of twelfth- to fifteenth-century Latin\u0000 medical works. It argues that discussions of men and women’s fertility in\u0000 old age were broadly similar, and that age was more important than gender\u0000 when medical writers thought about age-related infertility. Nonetheless,\u0000 behind the similarities many medical writers presented age as placing a\u0000 greater burden on women’s fertility than men’s.","PeriodicalId":237056,"journal":{"name":"Gender, Health, and Healing, 1250-1550","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123951981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is primarily a translation\u0000 of a chapter concerning the breast taken from the Lilium medicine of the\u0000 Montpellier physician, Bernard de Gordon. The author of the Tractatus,\u0000 however, eliminates most of Bernard’s commentary. The treatments are\u0000 simple combinations of herbs, minerals, and liquids meant to be applied\u0000 to the skin as plasters or poultices. This essay contextualizes the Tractatus\u0000 within the historiography and literature of breastfeeding and provides a\u0000 brief transcription and translation of its original recipe.
