[Sca-cooks] Meideval Physician (was: Two pleasant announcements)

[rosine]

   As an aside, if you enjoy reading books set "in period" and done well, I
strongly suggest the "Isaac of Girona" series by Caroline Roe - he's a 12th
(?) century Jewish physician in Spain, learned, smart, blind - who has found
himself in the position of being the physician for the local Bishop. Very
well researched, very well written. The stories are murder mysteries, but
it's hardly noticiable, so well described is the life of a mid-sized town,
it's relationship with it's Jewish quarter and the denizens, and the inner
workings of a Bishop's household.
