This second volume of Anglo-Norman Medicine completes Tony Hunt's edition of all the vernacular medical texts contained in Trinity College, Cambridge, MS 0.1.20, presenting a treatise on visiting the sick and a verse translation of the first part of the celebrated gynaecological compilation known as Trotula', both with their Latin originals. To these are added two longer works from other sources: the *Euperiston* and the TrinityPractica', ambitious compilations which exploit material in Latin, French and English. Full notes and glossaries are provided. Tony Hunt's Introduction aims to illustrate characteristic features of the medieval medical compendium through the example of the Speculum medicorum , which has hithertobeen completely unstudied.
TONY HUNT is a Fellow of St Peter's College, Oxford.
