Description

This scholarly collection by Peregrine Horden examines the evolution of hospitals and welfare institutions from Late Antiquity through the medieval period, tracing their development across Byzantium, the Islamic world, and western Europe. The first section explores hospitals within diverse historical contexts, connecting institutional welfare provision to demography, family history, music, and liturgy. The second part investigates the broader history of healing and medicine from Hippocratic times to the Renaissance, encompassing both hospital-based and independent medical practice. Together, these studies offer a comprehensive perspective on how societies organized medical care and welfare across centuries and cultures, making this volume essential for understanding pre-modern healthcare systems.
