Episode 315 - Curious Cures: Medicine in the Medieval World with Dr James Freeman

Host Natalie Grueninger interviews Dr James Freeman about the Curious Cures exhibition at Cambridge University Library, exploring medieval and early Tudor medical manuscripts, household remedies and charms, and how knowledge moved from ancient texts to everyday practice.

Highlights include the digitisation project, the role of physicians, surgeons and domestic healers, manuscripts linked to Elizabeth of York and Henry VII, and how visitors can view the exhibition and digital copies through the Cambridge Digital Library.
