different backgrounds who are re-visiting the field from new
perspectives and with the support of innovative questions and
unexplored sources

medicine and that of law, politics, religion, art and material
culture and highlights the connections between these apparently
separate fields

spaces where medical activities were performed e.g. apothecary
shops, courtrooms, convents and museums
