Tonight's purchase: Philippe Guillet's new edition of L'Anathomia de Richardus Anglicus: Un traité d'anatomie physiologique de la fin du XIIe siècle. Good old-fashioned philology combined w/ real Digital Humanities smarts brings a woefully understudied text into the light. #histmed

The cover of Philippe Guillet, L'Anathomia de Richardus Anglicus: Un traité d'anatomie physiologique de la fin du XIIe siècle (Paris: Honoré Champion, 2026). The title translates to "The Anatomy of Richard the Englishman: A Treatise of Physiological Anatomy from the End of the 12th Century."
