Walsh is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents the evolution and development of medical practices and understanding during the Middle Ages, a period often mislabeled as the "Dark Ages." The book aims to illuminate how medieval societies approached medicine, emphasizing that significant medical advancements occurred during these centuries despite contemporary misconceptions. The opening of "Medieval Medicine" sets the stage for a rich exploration of the field, highlighting the common misbelief that little of value emerged in medical science during the Middle Ages. Walsh argues that this era was defined by noteworthy contributions from physicians influenced by Greek traditions, including figures like Aëtios of Amida, Alexander of Tralles, and Paul of Ægina, whose works bridged the gap left by the fall of the Roman Empire. As the text unfolds, it intends to disrupt the narrative of ignorance in medieval healthcare by documenting the significant strides made in medical knowledge and practice, ultimately illustrating that this period laid foundational stones for modern medicine.
