Abstract

Research in the field of history of medicine in the Middle Ages presents several difficulties regarding the work with documentation. Although the great movement of digitization of documents and books in the last decades has contributed to those who dedicate themselves to this field of study, the organization of knowledge in the Middle Ages and incompleteness in cataloging in digital bases makes scientific research difficult. During the mini course “The organization of knowledge and the work with documentation in the history of medicine” presented at the VIII Jornada de História da Ciência e Ensino and II Congresso Internacional de História da Ciência e Ensino, the difficulties that historians of science find when researching medieval medicine and some ways to facilitate the studies were proposed, mainly through the Digital Humanities. This discussion will be briefly presented in this article.
