The Frog under the Tongue
In his pioneering study in the history of popular medicine, Marek Tuszewicki investigates Jews as active participants in shaping the healing practices of eastern Europe. This wide-ranging survey of sources in Yiddish, Hebrew, and many other languages fills a gap in the study of folk medicine in eastern Europe while also shedding light on little-known aspects of Ashkenazi culture and on cross-cultural contacts between Jews and their neighbours. /Institute for Polish-Jewish Studies/
