Description

This scholarly work examines how disability was portrayed in medieval Spanish canonical literature through theological, legal, and medical perspectives. Connie L. Scarborough investigates the complex attitudes toward physical impairments across different frameworks - from religious teachings that sometimes interpreted disabilities as divine punishment or opportunities for Christian charity, to legal systems that imposed restrictions on disabled individuals and grouped them with other vulnerable populations such as the poor and ill. The book represents one of the earliest comprehensive studies to analyse these intersecting viewpoints in Spanish medieval texts, offering valuable insights into how disability was understood, experienced, and regulated during the premodern period. Scholars of medieval history, disability studies, theology, and Spanish literature will find this volume essential for understanding the nuanced social and cultural positioning of disabled persons in medieval society.

Key Features

Connie L. Scarborough's analysis examines disability portrayals across theological, legal, and medical dimensions in medieval Spanish canonical works.

The book explores how theology sometimes presented disabled individuals as marked by God or as worthy recipients of Christian charity and compassion.

Medieval legal precepts restricted the rights and freedoms of disabled persons, positioning them alongside other marginalised groups including the ill and poor.

Published by Routledge as part of the Premodern Health, Disease, and Disability series for scholarly accessibility and credibility.

This work represents one of the first comprehensive examinations of disability representation in medieval Spanish literature and culture.
