Description

Explore the evolution of medical care and welfare institutions with this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume, part of the Variorum Collected Studies series, provides an in-depth look at the history of hospitals and healing from their origins in Late Antiquity through the later Middle Ages. The first section gathers selected papers by Peregrine Horden, focusing on the history of hospitals and welfare provision. These studies examine institutions across Byzantium, the Islamic lands, and Western Europe. By looking at diverse contexts such as demography, family history, music, and liturgy, the text offers a broad perspective on how these institutions functioned within their societies. The second part of the book investigates the history of medicine and healing practices. These studies look at medical developments both inside and outside the hospital setting, covering a timeline that stretches from Hippocratic times to the Renaissance. This collection is a valuable resource for students and historians interested in the development of medical institutions and the history of healthcare through the medieval period.
