Evidence
"scholars such as Linne Mooney have detected in medical manuscripts physical signs of practical use, such as droplets of blood and fragments of herbs."
Remarks
The presence of blood droplets and herb fragments provides corporeal and material evidence that these manuscripts were actively used in healing contexts involving real human bodies, rather than serving solely as imaginative or literary texts (p. 16).
