Portrait of Bernard de Gordon

Bernard de Gordon (Latin : Bernardus Gordonensis; fl. 1270 - 1330) was a French medical doctor and professor of medicine at the University of Montpellier from 1285. In 1296 he wrote the therapeutic work, De decem ingeniis seu indicationibus curandorum morborum. His most important work was the Lilium medicinae, printed in Naples in 1480, Lyon in 1491, and Venice in 1494. It describes plague, tuberculosis, scabies, epilepsy, anthrax, and leprosy. In the 15th century, it was translated into Irish by physician and scribe Cormac Mac Duinnshléibhe. [1]
