This post marks the first of a series of quarterly roundups of new publications of interest to researchers of early medicine that have recently been added to the shelves of the Wellcome Library. The bulletin will highlight monographs and collections of essays on the history of medieval or early modern medicine in Europe, or on the broader cultural history of health and well-being. It will also include selective titles with content straddling the early and modern periods.
