LEIGHEAS (the Irish word for \u2018remedy\u2019 or \u2018the art of healing\u2019) is a 4-year digital humanities project funded by a Consolidator Laureate Award from Research Ireland. Its central aim is to illuminate the social, pedagogical and manuscript context for the production and circulation of medical texts throughout the medieval Gaelic world. It also seeks to position this corpus within a wider intellectual framework, however, by exploring the complex multilingual and cross-cultural interactions that shaped the development of scientific writing across northern Europe more broadly during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
