| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Medicine |
 | | Medicine, he says is a practical art and, therefore, may not be treated according to the same methods for the investigation of truth as philosophy. | | | The scientific endeavours for the reform of medicine are characterized by the activity of the translators, by the critical treatment and explanation of old authors, and by independent investigation especially in the field of botany. | | | According to the Capitulary of Charlemagne at Diedenhofen (Thionville) in 806, medicine was commonly taught in these schools. |
