The first monograph on the history of Islamic hospitals, this
volume focuses on the under-examined Egyptian and Levantine
institutions of the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. By the twelfth
century, hospitals serving the sick and the poor could be found in
nearly every Islamic city. Ahmed Ragab traces the varying origins
and development of these institutions, locating them in their urban
environments and linking them to charity networks and patrons'
political projects. Following the paths of patients inside hospital
wards, he investigates who they were and what kinds of experiences
they had. The Medieval Islamic Hospital explores the medical
networks surrounding early hospitals and sheds light on the
particular brand of practice-oriented medicine they helped to
develop. Providing a detailed picture of the effect of religion on
medieval medicine, it will be essential reading for those
interested in history of medicine, history of Islamic sciences, or
history of the Mediterranean.
