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.
