The term Dark Ages is applied by some people to a time in history when very little writing was done in Western Europe. The dates most commonly used seem to be 450 to 1000 or 476 to 1066.
The later part of this time coincided with the beginning of a time called the Golden Age of Islam, during which there was a lot of development of medical knowledge in such places as Persia, Iraq, Arabia, Egypt, and southern Spain. There are many names of individuals who were important in medicine at this time. One who stands out is Avicenna, who lived from about 980 to 1037, in Persia.
There was work on new medicines also going on in the Byzantine Empire at this time, centering around the University of Constantinople, which opened in 425. There was also work being done in the Medical School of Salermo, in Italy, which was established when earlier medical schools established during the time of the Roman Empire, were moved there and gradually merged. We know little of the individuals who worked there, because the time was not one that had much written about individuals. One person was Trotula of Salerno, but we really do not even have her dates and know little about her.
