Аннотация: The five wits were an important component of culture in the Middle Ages, and passages dealing with the bodily wits occur frequently in early vernacular medical literature (1375-1600).Our aim is to relate these texts to their readers to detect how the commonplace was presented to various audiences.We shall apply two lines of research.First, we shall discuss the linguistic realizations with qualitative discourse analysis.The data come from two digital corpora, Middle English Medical Texts (Taavitsainen, Pahta and Mäkinen 2005) and Early Modern English Medical Texts (Taavitsainen et al. 2010), compiled from edited versions.The scope of these passages is wide, ranging from theoretical treatises of natural philosophy and surgery to compendia and practical adaptations in recipes and remedybooks.Second, we provide case studies on the underlying manuscript reality by philological methods and study the same or related passages in some Cambridge and British Library manuscripts.The analysis showcases the importance of going back to the versions that reached the medieval audiences for the dissemination of medical knowledge in the early periods.
