Description

Explore a groundbreaking study of how physical impairments were understood in medieval Spain. In "Viewing Disability in Medieval Spanish Texts: Disgraced or Graced," Connie L. Scarborough examines canonical works to reveal how disability related to theology, law, and medicine. This book provides a rare look at the different lenses used to interpret the human body during this period. Readers will discover how theological teachings often presented a dual view of disability. At times, physical impairments were seen as signs of sin, while at other times, the disabled were viewed as vital objects of Christian charity. The text also investigates how legal precepts placed restrictions on individuals, often grouping them with the poor or the ill. This scholarly work is an essential resource for those studying premodern health, disease, and disability. By analyzing historical texts, Scarborough provides a clear picture of the social and religious landscape of medieval Spain, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or collection focused on historical medical and social perspectives.
