About This Book
An academic dissertation assembles an alphabetic glossary of medical terminology in Finnish with Latin counterparts, accompanied by a brief preface on vernacular medical practice and folk remedies. It explains selection criteria—favoring terms authentically used by the people rather than literal translations—lists sources consulted, and surveys gaps in Finnish vocabulary for anatomy, physiology, dietetics, and forensic medicine. The work aims to facilitate medical instruction and communication by recording plant-based pharmacological names, common disease designations, and practical therapeutic vocabulary prevalent among rural practitioners.
