14세기 기 드 숄리악의 '대외과술'에 나타난 아랍 의학의 영향

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the influence of Arab medicine as seen in Guy de Chauliac's Chirurgia magna written in the 14th century. Western European medicine in the 14th century focused on internal medicine theories centered on Galenic medicine, and surgery was neglected. On the other hand, practical aspects of daily life and warfare heightened interest in surgery. However, surgeons and barber surgeons in the 14th century had a lot of surgical experience, they often caused problems because they lacked an understanding of the theory. Accordingly, Guy de Chauliac believed that they should also receive theoretical education. At that time, there were no books written specifically on surgery. Therefore, Guy de Chauliac wrote Chirurgia magna which included his own experience and Arabic medical books that described medicine more advanced than those in Western Europe. Through this study, I found that Arab medicine not only had a significant influence on the writing of Chirurgia magna, but also greatly contributed to the development of Western European medicine as Chirurgia magna continued to be compiled until the 18th century.
