This is the first complete edition and English translation of John Hall s Little Book of Cures a fascinating medical casebook composed in Latin around 1634-5. John Hall (1575-1635) was Shakespeare s son-in-law (Hall married Susanna Shakespeare in 1607) and based his medical practice in Stratford-upon-Avon. Readers have never before had access to a complete English translation of John Hall s casebook which contains fascinating details about his treatment of patients in and around Stratford. Until Wells s edition our knowledge of Hall and his practice has had to rely only on a partial seventeenth-century edition (produced by James Cooke in 1657 and 1679 and re-printed with annotation by Joan Lane as recently as 1996). Cooke s edition significantly misrepresents Hall by abridging his manuscript (Cooke removed Hall s conversations with his patients) by errors of translation and by combining Hall s work with examples from Cooke s own medical practice.
