Wounds were a potent signifier reaching across all aspects of life
in Europe in the middle ages, and their representation, perception
and treatment is the focus of this volume. Following a survey of
the history of medical wound treatment in the middle ages, paired
chapters explore key themes situating wounds within the context of
religious belief, writing on medicine, status and identity, and
surgical practice. The final chapter reviews the history of
medieval wounding through the modern imagination. Adopting an
innovative approach to the subject, this book will appeal to all
those interested in how past societies regarded health, disease and
healing and will improve knowledge of not only the practice of
medicine in the past, but also of the ethical, religious and
cultural dimensions structuring that practice.
