SourceLab is excited to announce the publication of a new edition: “A Medieval Surgery, Illustrated: The First Recorded Surgical Separation of Conjoined Twins.” This edition presents a folio of an illustrated twelfth-century manuscript that depicts a surgical procedure undertaken by Byzantine doctors to separate a pair of conjoined twins. This fascinating edition not only sheds light on the practice of medicine during the tenth century, but also discusses histories of (dis)ability, chronicle writing, and manuscript production in the Middle Ages.
