Abstract:
Breathing is one of the physiological process whose mechanism can not be easily nore exactly studied directly, without a specific technology. Consequently, various conceptions followed one another to explain this process and so to improve the understanding and the treatments of diseases related to breathing. Whereas some studies had deeply showed which theories on breathing and its diseases have been developped during Antiquity, only few and ponctual works deal with medieval theory and practice on these matters. Our research aim to precise which were the theories about breathing physiology and diseases during the 14th and the 15th centuries, through the study of works written during this period, in particular commentaries on Avicenna's Canon of the medicine and Practicae. Thanks to these sources, we collect data on anatomy, physiology and pathology related to breathing in order to find the legacies, the possible changes, the medical practice , the identity of respiratory diseases mentionned and found during the 14th and the 15th centuries.
