Description

Using an innovative approach to evidence for the medieval hospital and medical practice, this collection of essays presents new research by leading international scholars in creating a holistic look at the hospital as an environment within a social and intellectual context. The research presented creates insights into practice, medicines, administration, foundation, regulation, patronage, theory, and spirituality. Looking at differing models of hospital administration between 13th century France and Spain, social context is explored. Seen from the perspective of the history of Knights of the Order of Saint Lazarus, and Order of the Temple, hospital and practice have a different emphasis. Extant medieval hospitals at Tonnerre and Winchester become the basis for exploring form and function in relation to health theory (spiritual and non-spiritual) as well as the influence of patronage and social context. In the case of the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan, this line of argument is taken further to demonstrate aspects of the building based on a concept of epidemiology. Evidence for the practice of medicine presented in these essays comes from a variety of sources and approaches such as remedy books, medical texts, recorded practice, and by making parallels with folk medicine. Archaeological evidence indicates both religious and non religious medical intervention while skeletal remains reveal both pathology and evidence of treatment. Review ’This multi-disciplinary collection of essays showcases the variety, and wealth, of scholarship that has emerged in recent decades on medieval medicine and healing. Its major strength is its breadth. ... Many essays centre on English material, but the collection has a welcome geographical sweep, including works on France, Spain, Italy and the Latin East that often provide good introductions to scholarship in these areas and languages.’ English Historical Review ’This is a valuable piece of interdisciplinary research for anyone interested not just in the medieval hospital but also in the way that research is carried out.’ Historians of Women Religious of Britain and Ireland ’With a number of excellent essays to recommend it, and two useful contributions on sources from the archaeologists, William White and Geoff Egan, this collection constitutes a welcome addition to the growing body of publications on medieval medical history... Barbara Bowers deserves our thanks for bringing these papers together.’ Medical History ’The AVISTA series was created to draw attention to medieval technology, science and art in the broadest meaning of the words, and to examine their interactions. The [volume] under review succeed in fulfilling their organisers’ aims.’ Metascience About the Author Barbara S. Bowers received her PhD in 2002 from Ohio State University and is currently Secretary of AVISTA.
