| Abstract | Papers of these two sessions broadly address the theme of poisoned food and poisoned bodies in medieval life, art, and literature. Speakers aim to focus on empirical approaches to archaeological, artistic, and literary evidence in order to reconstruct 'anatomies' of physical and mental poisoning.The transdisciplinary approach as outlined above appears to be a promising tool not only for cross-validation of the methodologies involved but also for potentially gaining new insights into past and recent human life. |
