Henry Daniel, Medieval English Medicine, and Linguistic Innovation: A Lexicographic Study of Huntington MS HM 505

abstract:MS HM 505 in the Huntington Library contains the first known academic medical treatise in Middle English, Henry Daniel's Liber uricrisiarum. The manuscript includes more than a thousand English words that either predate, or are contemporary with, their earliest recorded occurrence according to the OED and MED. In this lexicographic study, Sarah Star lists the terms and argues that Henry Daniel occupies a crucial, but hitherto overlooked, place in the history of English medicine and the history of the English language.
