Presents the first critical edition of the Latin Trotula standardized ensemble, together with a facing-page English translation. Green demonstrates that the Trotula (originally a title, not an author’s name) is an assembly of three different texts that originated in 12th-century Salerno. Only the second of these texts can be attributed to a female author (a Salernitan woman named Trota), though all three texts show distinctive views on the nature of the female body and therapeutic objectives in treating and manipulating it.

The book contains editions and translations of three texts: Liber de Sinthomatibus Mulierum/Book on the Conditions of Women, pp. 70-115 De Curis Mulierum/On Treatments for Women, pp. 116-165 De Ornatu Mulierum/On Women's Cosmetics, pp. 166-191
There is also a 2002 edition from the University of Pennsylvania Press which reprints the English translation with some revisions while eliminating the Latin text.
