Lecture on Medicine and Astrology...

[Nick Pelling <incoming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that, on 1pm on Tuesday 12th February 2002, The 
Cambridge University Department of History and Philosophy of Science will 
be hosting a one-hour talk by David Juste (Warburg Institute, University of 
London), on "Medical Astrology in the Early Middle Ages".

        http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/dept/seminars.html

This is part of a set of open seminars on "Early Medicine and Natural 
Philosophy: Medicine and Magic", held in Seminar Room 1, Department of 
History and Philosophy of Science, Free School Lane, Cambridge.

The organisers are Lauren Kassell (ltk21@xxxxxxxxx) and Sophie Page 
(slp12@xxxxxxxxx). Note that Lauren Kassell has been studying the "Book of 
Dunstan" for some years... more on that as it happens. :-)

I'll be going along to find out more (I hope) about the rise (and fall) of 
astrological medical determinism... I suspect this will prove to be a 
cornerstone of the VMS (but we shall see, of course). :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
