Hello, I am interested in how medical procedures were described in old Dutch bills. Is there a glossary that helps distinguish a treatment from a visit or a charge for medicines?For modern procedure names and prices, xcuro has a directory at https://xcuro.com/procedures/. That does not explain historical handwriting or tell us what an old charge covered. I would appreciate a reference for the older Dutch terms.
Dear Sheila,
It depends a lot on which time period we are talking about. Could you indicate the time period we are talking about, or even better, post an example of the bills / documents that you are examining?
For looking up historical Dutch words, the website of the Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal may help: https://gtb.ivdnt.org/search/
Dear Scheila, the IvdNT in Leiden has also created the Dagenta subdomain with lots of digitized dictionaries (woordenboeken) from the sixteenth century onwards (choose Genre / woordenboek).
