As a relatively new field of study, little critical attention has been paid to medical paratexts. We understand paratext as the apparatus of graphic communication: title pages, prefaces, illustrations, marginalia, and publishing details which act as mediators between text and reader. Discussing the development of medical paratexts across scribal, print and digital media, the collection spans the medieval period to the twenty-first century. Dissecting the Page is structured in two thematic sections, underpinned by a shared examination of ideas of medical and lay readership and a history of reader response. The first section focuses on the production, reception, and use of medical texts. The second section analyses the role and significance of authority, access, and dissemination in discussions of health, medicine, and illness, for both lay and medical readerships.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aMedicine and Nursing2bicssc 7aOther graphic or visual art forms2bicssc  amedical paratexts; graphic communication; medieval; modern1 aScott, Diane4edt1 aScott, Diane4oth1 aTweed, Hannah4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/6970870zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92954d92954
