Introduction
After a Master’s degree at Sorbonne Université (France), Camille Vo Van Qui completed a PhD in medieval studies at the University of Exeter (UK), on the "The breaking-in and training of horses in medieval France (1250-1550.” This interdisciplinary project used methodologies from the field of animal studies and a combination of historical, archaeological, experimental, and iconographic sources and focusses primarily on French translations of Jordanus Rufus’s De medicina equorum (c. 1250).
