In my dissertation, The Art of Medicine: Illuminated Hebrew Medical Manuscripts from the Late Middle Ages (approve recently), I collected seventy-nine illuminated Hebrew medical manuscripts from fourteenth to sixteenth-century Europe. I studied the ways in which these manuscripts employed visual languages, some professional in appearance and some less so, analysing the use and meaning of these images.
