In many early medieval calendars, 7 November is the first day of winter. One Anglo-Saxon poem calls today 'Winter's Day', which 'seizes sun-bright autumn with its army of ice and snow' and holds the earth captive until spring comes again aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/…

"The doctor will see you now"
Images of a doctor surgically removing haemorrhoids from a patient, removing a nasal growth, and removing cataracts from the eye of their patient.
From a 12th-century medical and herbal collection
Sloane MS 1975, f. 93r

ALT Illuminated miniature in three sections: The top left is a doctor surgically removing haemorrhoids from a patient, while below a doctor removes a nasal growth, and to the right a doctor removes cataracts from the eye of his patient. To excise the haemorrhoids the surgeon uses a clawed separator, and holds a knife in the right. The bowl on which the patient is standing may have been intended to catch the blood.
