Description

Explore the connection between physical objects and the history of health in this interdisciplinary volume. Materialities of Disease Across the Medieval World offers new ways to understand how disease, death, healing, and health were experienced and displayed throughout the global medieval period. By moving beyond traditional text-based studies, this book examines how non-textual narratives provide insight into historical medical experiences. This collection reaches across geographical and disciplinary boundaries to investigate a broad selection of visual and material artifacts. The research covers diverse regions including Western Europe, Western Africa, Anatolia, Japan, India, China, and New Spain. Readers can study how historical images and objects serve as records of human health and illness. This volume is a valuable resource for those studying medieval history, material culture, and the global history of medicine.
