Древнеанглийская медицина, отраженная в совокупности медицинских текстов, составленных на англосаксонском языке, служит уникальным синтезом раннесредневековых культурных и религиозных представлений. Травник Leechbook III является одним из наиболее представительных источников по истории древнеанглийской медицины. Анализ текста позволяет выделить те принципы, которые легли в основу лечебной практики в англосаксонской Англии. Через призму данного медицинского сочинения исследователь также получает возможность взглянуть на черты религиозного мировоззрения англосаксов.

Old English medicine, reflected in the totality of medical texts compiled in Anglo-Saxon, serves as a unique synthesis of early medieval cultural and religious ideas. The herbalist Leechbook III is one of the most representative sources on the history of Old English medicine. The analysis of the text allows us to highlight the principles that formed the basis of medical practice in Anglo-Saxon England. Through the prism of this medical essay, the researcher also gets the opportunity to look at the features of the religious worldview of the Anglo-Saxons.
