How were Greek texts on the care and medical treatment of the horse transmitted from antiquity to the present day? Using the evidence of Byzantine manuscripts of the veterinary compilation known as the Hippiatrica , Anne McCabe traces the journey of the texts from the stables to the medieval scriptorium and ultimately to the printed edition.

This book provides a guide to its complex history as well as a host of fascinating details, and includes color illustrations of a number of manuscript pages.
