Gilbertus Anglicus

Gilbertus Anglicus (or Gilbert of England, also known as Gilbertinus; c. 1180 – c. 1250) was a medieval English physician. He is known chiefly for his encyclopedic work, the Compendium of Medicine (Compendium Medicinæ), most probably written between 1230 and 1250. This medical treatise was an attempt at a comprehensive overview of the best practice in pharmacology, medicine, and surgery at the time. His medical works, alongside those of John of Gaddesden, "formed part of the core curriculum that underpinned the practice of medicine for the next 400 years".
