Description

Falsely attributed to St. Albertus Magnus (c. 1206–1280), the "Secrets of Women and Men" was compiled from a variety of Western and Arabic treatises on medicine and astrology. This text shows the primitive state of medicine at the time through its inaccurate descriptions of male and female physiology.
