Joël Chandelier's research centers on the history of medieval medicine, with a strong focus on Arabic medicine and its influence in the Latin West. His methodological approach integrates textual analysis with political, social, and cultural contexts of knowledge production. Working with Latin and Arabic manuscripts and archival sources, his work bridges the medieval Islamic world and the Latin Christian world, examining both the original production of Arabic science and its translation, adaptation, and application in Europe.
His recent scholarly contributions include studies on intellectual responses to the Black Death, the emergence of forensic medicine, Latin perceptions of Arab authors, and the practical implementation of medical knowledge in late medieval society. He has co-authored two significant books with Aurélien Robert on knowledge frontiers and profane learning within mendicant orders in medieval Italy. His current research explores the connections between medicine and philosophy at the end of the Middle Ages, particularly in relation to ethics and governance, and a comparative analysis of the medical works of Avicenna and Averroes.
