“…The Epistemic Authority of Translations 69 6 Albert granted demonstrative authority to the translatio media in its power to convey a scientia of experience, which he elaborated upon by determining the precise relationship between the universals and experience. 39 Thomas Aquinas granted authoritative value to Aristotle's words as he found them in the revisio Moerbekana, and exegetically determined their epistemic value for the scientia that Aristotle propounded. John Buridan, finally, strayed away from the authority of the revisio Moerbekana in his question commentary Lectura Erfordiensis, and turned instead to the epistemic authority of medical practice.…”

“…38 It is important to note Alexander's innovation here: Aristotle never speaks of a logikē gnōsis. 39 According to Alexander, technique knows everything that experience knows, but it goes one step farther, achieving cognition of what is similar to the individual things that have been remembered and processed by experience. 40 Alexander continues: "And as experience is to memory, which is of something that is one …, so technique and knowledge 1 [epistēmē] are to experience."…”

“…38 It is significant that William, like Adelard, justifies his psychological propositions through the use of witnessed empirical experiences, real or hypothetical. 39 In the passage just cited, he twice signals the visual nature of the phenomena (visum est/ visus est). The fact that he returns repeatedly to such empirical evidence-secondhand as it is-to justify his account of the processes of cognition suggests the value of experience, even (or especially) for an area of study in which sense-experience is almost impossible to come by.…”

This innovative collection showcases the importance of the relationship between translation and experience in premodern science, bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to offer a nuanced understanding of knowledge transfer across premodern time and space.The volume considers experience as a tool and object of science in the premodern world, using this idea as a jumping-off point from which to view translation as a process of interaction between different epistemic domains. The book is structured around four dimensions of translationbetween terms within and across languages; across sciences and scientific norms; between verbal and visual systems; and through the expertise of practitioners and translators-which raise key questions on what constituted experience of the natural world in the premodern area and the impact of translation processes and agents in shaping experience.Providing a wide-ranging global account of historical studies on the travel and translation of experience in the premodern world, this book will be of interest to scholars in history, the history of translation, and the history and philosophy of science. xi i AcknowledgmentsThis book grew out of a series of conferences and workshops organized under the auspices of Katja Krause's research group "Experience in the Premodern Sciences of Soul and Body, ca. 800-1650" at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin (MPIWG). The group studies the role of experience in the making of premodern knowledge on plant, animal, and human life (for more information, see www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ research/ departments/ max-planck-research-group-premodern-sciences).

Astromedicine, the notion that human health is in some way linked to the stars, is found in many societies. The Babylonians and Ancient Egyptians were famous for their astronomical knowledge, and used it to predict and diagnose disease, and influenced some Greek and Roman doctors from 100 BCE onwards. Galen of Pergamum preferred a meteorological explanation for illness, but his discussion of critical days allowed his successors in Late Antiquity to include the influence of the stars in their calculations. This Galenic astromedicine was developed by the Arabs and taken over in the learned medicine of Western Europe from 1200 CE. Objections were raised in the Renaissance, and by 1600, medical astrology had fallen out of favour among the elite physicians. Patients, however, still flocked to astrologers like Simon Forman. Arabic astromedicine also spread eastwards to India and Tibet, although Chinese astromedicine developed differently. Key Concepts: Astromedicine has been widely practised for centuries in many societies. From Egypt and Babylonia predicting diseases by the stars entered Greek medicine around 250 BCE. Astromedicine achieved respectability in Late Antiquity, and was further developed in the Islamic world. From the Islamic world astromedicine passed to Western Europe as part of the new university medical education. The Renaissance humanist doctors strongly attacked astromedicine, which by 1650 was seen as dubious quackery, even if many patients believed in it. Indian and particularly Chinese medicine included astromedicine as a significant part of their continuing medical traditions.
