Medical Texts in Translation series

We have gathered together speakers who are working on translations of material that has not been available in translation in the past. They will introduce and read the text in translation, followed by their analysis and a general discussion. We hope to attract participants who will be able to contribute to the discussion. For further details (or if you are interested in hosting a session) please call or email Vivienne Lo: v.lo@ucl.ac.uk or telephone: 020 7679 8113.
