Talk:Schola Medica Salernitana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lombard connections that were suggested in this article are not important. There was no Lombard medical tradition, no Lombard tradition of preserving manuscripts in general, few Lombard cultural connections with Byzantium and Arabic Sicily. I added two first references, which provide some basic orientation. --Wetman 20:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The connection was solely with the stability provided by the Lombard government, but even that implication was barely detectable. The comment merely defined the time period by the political authority. Furthermore, Alfanus was a Lombard and his influence was important. Srnec 05:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
