@byjacklynn: This was one of the most interesting pieces for me at the medieval women exhibition in the British Library. This is the handbook of St Bartholomew’s, a medical ‘handbook’ for a hospital. It’s opened to a section about women’s gynaecology. Several of the keywords were written in code, in what was believed to be an attempt to control who had access to the information - a worthwhile exhibition to visit! #britishhistory #historytiktok #medieval #britishlibrary #medievalhistory
