I love trail running and cycling uphill—just too afraid of the downhill to go pro, so I decided to study medieval medicine instead.

As a little treat for you, here's an #ArabicBible Advent calendar 🧵. Every day I'll post a verse from the Christmas story from one of the oldest Arabic Gospel lectionaries, Sinai ar. 72, dated 897 CE (and a few other texts in between). [2nd attempt, I won't be offended if you point out my nonsense.]

Star Trek The Original Series scene. Ok, we're on a planet in daytime and we're in front of garage or large building door of some kind. Standing in front of it we see famous workplace buddies Spock and Kirk, (or "Kpock" as the shippers famously coined them). They're standing in pinstripe gangster style suites and hats, Kirk in blue pastries Spock in Brown with an orange tie. Kirk is I think holding a tommy gun machine gun and looking at Spock, who is pointing and thinking. Closed caption reads, "Where'd you get them ears?"

S/he explains why it can be necessary to *induce* vomiting sometimes, & that is when a woman is laboring from a dead fetus in her uterus. The plaster described is to be laid on her belly, & then immediately removed once the fetus is expelled. This circumstance is never mentioned by any male authors!
The beginning of the passage discussing a plaster used to induce vomiting and aid in the expulsion of the dead fetus is highlighted. The text reads as follows: "Emplastrum solutivum.: Ventrem deponit et vomitum facit, fetus mortuum de ventre mulieris ehicit. 3 Conficitur cum melle et omni tempore paratum habeas. Si super stomachum posueris, vomitum facit. Si super umbilicum, ventrem (sol)vit, si super renes, ventrem stringit. Si femine super pectinem positum fuerit, fetus mortuum eicit, postquam eiecerit statim tolle emplastrum."
