The Mulomedicina of Theodoricus Cerviensis and its key role in the transmission of Latin treatises on horse medicine from the 13th to the 15th century in Italy

我们的项目以Theodoricus Cerviensis（1205-1298）和他的马药专著（Mulomedicina）为中心。多明尼加的修道士，后来的切尔维亚主教，除了他在教堂的职业生涯之外，他还是上层阶级的医生，他还写了一本著名的外科专著，还有一本不太知名但仍有影响力的关于马药的著作，他从古代和当代的资料中汇编而成。约在13世纪中叶活跃的Jordanus Ruffus是Mulomedicina的主要文本来源，西奥多里克斯开创了一个致力于马匹疾病的文学活动的新时代，当时大多数作家，如Jordanus Ruffus，有能力但没有受过学术训练的从业人员在意大利和邻近的地中海国家的一些法院负责马厩。他在外科手术方面的能力以及他在神职人员中的地位使他与众不同。到目前为止，已经确定了15份从13世纪到16世纪他的Mulomedicina的拉丁手稿。我们的跨学科项目将提供基于所有手稿的第一个关键版本。文本内容将与当代文献的嬉皮病学进行比较。计划中的数字版本将使人们能够可持续地获取文本，并将其转换为任何格式。还可以以多维方式将文本内容与手稿的数字版本、关键注释、综合词汇表、翻译和解释兽医背景的评论联系起来。鉴于今天的中世纪拉丁语词典中兽医术语的覆盖范围有限，该词汇表将填补兽医历史学家和中世纪学家的重要空白，并将受到中世纪拉丁语和罗曼语词典编纂者的欢迎。

Our project centers around Theodoricus Cerviensis (1205-1298) and his treatise on horse medicine (Mulomedicina). Theodoricus, a Dominican monk and later bishop of Cervia, was, in addition to his career in the church, physician to upper class people as well as the author of a well-known treatise on surgery and of a less well-known but nonetheless influential work on horse medicine, which he compiled from ancient and contemporary sources. With Jordanus Ruffus, active around the middle of the 13th century and a major text source of the Mulomedicina, Theodoricus inaugurates a new era of literary activity devoted to the ailments of horses, at a time when most authors, like Jordanus Ruffus, were able but not academically trained practitioners in charge of the stables at a number of courts in Italy and in adjacent Mediterranean countries. His competence in surgery as well as his position in the clergy set Theodoricus apart.So far, fifteen Latin manuscripts dating from the 13th to the 16th century of his Mulomedicina have been identified. Our interdisciplinary project will provide the first critical edition based on all manuscripts. Text contents will be compared with contemporary literature on hippiatrics. The planned digital edition will enable sustainable access to the text as well as its transformation into any format. It will also be possible to link in a multidimensional way the textual contents to the digital versions of the manuscripts, the critical annotations, the comprehensive glossary, the translation and the commentary explaining the veterinary background. In view of the scanty coverage of veterinary terms in today's medieval Latin dictionaries, the glossary will fill an important gap for historians of veterinary medicine and medievalists alike and will be welcomed by lexicographers of medieval Latin and the Romance languages.
