Because the perception of infertility in medieval Europe ranged from the extremely religious view of it as a malediction of God or the devil's work, to the reasonable medical conception of it as a sort of disease to treat, it is very difficult to determine the general attitudes of ordinary people towards infertility. This article seeks to elucidate the common social perception of infertility and its treatment in late medieval Europe by analyzing the case of Margherita Datini, an Italian merchant's wife who lived in the 1400s. It relies heavily on the documents left by her and her husband, Francesco Datini; the couple left many records, including letters of correspondence between them. Margherita and those around her regarded infertility not as the devil's curse or a punishment by God but as a disease that can be cured. Margherita and her husband, Francesco, tried hard to cure their infertility. They received treatment and prescriptions from several doctors while also relying on folk remedies, religious therapies, and even magical remedies. The comparative analysis of Datini documents, medical books, and theoretical treatises or prescriptive essays by clerics suggests that the general perception of infertility in medieval Europe was located between the extremely religious and modern medical conceptions of it.

MedievalJewish, Christian and Muslim Culture Encounters in Confluence and Dialogue Medieval Encounters 21 (2015) 50-80 © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2�15 | AbstractTranslations in the Middle Ages were the clearest route for the transmission of knowledge between countries and cultures. Furthermore, translation led to the creation a body of scientific terminology for languages that lacked their own, as in the case of Medieval Hebrew. This paper examines one of these translations: Isaac Israeli's Book on Fevers. Two paragraphs from the Hebrew translation of the Book on Fevers (one from the opening, the other describing medicinal substances) have been selected to analyze how the translator worked with a medical text in Hebrew. The terminology in both was compared with that of other medieval medical books in Hebrew to better understand how a medical lexicon was built and how it developed in the Christian environment where these translations were made. The conclusion of this study contributes to the understanding of translation as part of the intellectual interaction among Jews, Muslims and Christians.
