Note CG — Fifth Book
Ernest Brehaut translation
P. 112, l. 32 f. This tale indicates one kind of limitation under which the profession of medicine labored at this time. Another is revealed in the tales of healing undertaken in connection with “evil arts” (pp. 205-8, 236-8). In the light of these passages the fate of the physician Marileif (pp. 115, 181-2) is the natural one. See also p. 131 and Introd., pp. xxii-xxiii.
