DESCRIPTION:Despite the pioneering work done by M. L. Cameron in the 1980s
  much of the source scholarship relating to the Old English corpus of medi
 cal texts remains unfinished. This paper will demonstrate the necessity fo
 r such source scholarship by examining a selection of anatomical terms in 
 Old English and demonstrating how Cameron's early conclusions on the meani
 ng of anatomical terms may be improved upon if a wider corpus of Latin sou
 rces for the Old English medical text known as the Leechbook of Bald is co
 mpiled.\n\nSuggested reading (photocopy available in the Whipple Library a
