Michael MecklerHybrid lecture: 'Medical practitioners in the Medieval Gaelic world: Myth and history’ this ThursdayThe University of Edinburgh's John Bannerman Lecture will take place this Thursday, 13 March, in person at 40 George Square at 5:15 pm GMT (= 1:15 pm EDT), with a promised 'hybrid' format. The speaker is Prof Deborah Hayden of Maynooth University, who will discuss the transmission of medical knowledge in Gaelic in late medieval and early modern Ireland and Scotland.This is a particularly apt subject for a lecture in memory of my former teacher Dr John Bannerman, among whose scholarship was the book 'The Beatons: a medical kindred in the classical Gaelic tradition'.More information about the lecture, including the link for free tickets (which should get you onto an email list with further information on remote attendance), may be found here:<a href="https://hca.ed.ac.uk/updates-events/events/john-bannerman-lecture-professor-deborah-hayden" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hca.ed.ac.uk/updates-events/events/john-bannerman-lecture-professor-deborah-hayden</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/medievodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@medievodons</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scotland</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ireland</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Gaelic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaelic</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/gaidhlig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaidhlig</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/gaeilge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaeilge</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/HistoryOfMedicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryOfMedicine</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CelticStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CelticStudies</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medieval</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Edinburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Edinburgh</a>
