Ni partera ni comadrona, Trótula quiere ser médico a principios del siglo XII.
Su familia puede costear sus estudios en la única escuela abierta a la praxis para mujeres, en Salerno. Otras damas ya lo hacen y lo harán, pero ella tiene la firme decisión de formarse, convirtiéndose pronto en una maestra del centro salernitano.
Con el tiempo y apoyada en su propio marido, médico de la misma Escuela, se convertirá en una reputada mujer de ciencia centrada en el diagnóstico, la necesidad de realizar un completo estudio de los pacientes y en aliviar a las mujeres de la pesada carga de ser hijas de Eva.
De mente abierta y brillante Trótula pasará, hasta el siglo XVI, por ser una científica de referencia en el campo de la Medicina.
La Escuela de Salerno
Hace tiempo, junto al golfo de Paestum, cerca de Nápoles,cuatro médicos, uno árabe, otro judío, otro griego y otro latino, crearon la escuela de Salerno, todo un símbolo del mestizaje legendario de la fundación de la primera escuela de medicina laica de occidente.
Esta historia y otras muchas que he ido aprendiendo y disfrutando me han hecho creer que la Edad Media no fue un periodo oscuro. Tal ve
Trotula de Salerne, ou Trotula di Ruggiero (ou encore Trota), est une médecin italienne du Moyen Âge, à qui on attribue plusieurs ouvrages traitant de la santé féminine.
Les bases de la médecine féminine
On sait très peu de choses de la vie de Trotula de Salerne, mis à part qu’elle vit probablement au XIème siècle et qu’elle appartient à l’École de Salerne. Médecin, elle écrit en latin plusieurs ouvrages sur la santé des femmes qui donnent de premières bases pour la médecine féminine, notamment son Traitement des femmes malades avant et après l’accouchement, et Les maladies des femmes avant, pendant et après l’accouchement. Dans ces ouvrages, elle préconise notamment l’usage d’opiacés pour atténuer les douleurs de l’accouchement, allant à l’encontre des positions de l’Eglise de l’époque, pour qui les femmes doivent souffrir en accouchant.
Traitement pour les femmes
Dans son Maladies des femmes (De passionibus mulierum curandarum), elle décrit des problèmes de santé liés aux règles et à l’accouchement, évoquant différentes façons de réguler le cycle féminin. De nombreuses théories sont tirées
In the twelfth century, Salerno Italy was the epicenter of medieval medicine in Europe. Salerno was famous for having the first medical school and its hospitals had world- wide reputation for excellence. During this time, many women were trained as physicians and also taught at the medical schools. Generally at this time in Europe, women were denied education. At the School of Salerno, women were welcomed as students and instructors. Trotula was a physician and an instructor at the School of Salerno.
Trotula was one of the most famous physicians of the time. She is considered the world's first gynecologist. Trotula di Ruggiero came from a wealthy family. Her birth and childhood remain a mystery. Trotula was a pioneer in women's health. She specialized in obstetrics, gynecology, cosmetics and skin disease. She wrote many medical works. Her most famous was Passionibus Mulierum Curandorum (The Diseases of Women), also known as Trotula Major. This work was comprised of sixty three chapters pertaining to the special health issues of women. The purpose of this work was to educate male physicians about the female body because male physicians knew little at that time. Another work
The Trotula: An English Translation of the Medieval Compendium of Women's Medicine (The Middle Ages Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Trotula was the most influential compendium of women's medicine in medieval Europe. Scholarly debate has long focused on the traditional attribution of the work to the mysterious Trotula, said to have been the first female professor of medicine in eleventh- or twelfth-century Salerno, just south of Naples, then the leading center of medical learning in Europe. Yet as Monica H. Green reveals in her introduction to the first English translation ever based upon a medieval form of the text, the Trotula is not a single treatise but an ensemble of three independent works, each by a different author. To varying degrees, these three works reflect the synthesis of indigenous practices of southern Italians with the new theories, practices, and medicinal substances coming out of the Arabic world.
Green here presents a complete English translation of the so-called standardized Trotula ensemble, a composite form of the texts that was produced in the midthirteenth century and circulated widely in learned circles. The work is now accessible to a broad au
