For the first time, this volume explores the identities of leprosy
sufferers and other people affected by the disease in medieval
Europe. The chapters, including contributions by leading voices
such as Luke Demaitre, Carole Rawcliffe and Charlotte Roberts,
challenge the view that people with leprosy were uniformly excluded
and stigmatised. Instead, they reveal the complexity of responses
to this disease and the fine line between segregation and
integration. Ranging across disciplines, from history to
bioarchaeology, Leprosy and identity in the Middle Ages encompasses
post-medieval perspectives as well as the attitudes and responses
of contemporaries. Subjects include hospital care, diet, sanctity,
miraculous healing, diagnosis, iconography and public health
regulation. This richly illustrated collection presents previously
unpublished archival and material sources from England to the
Mediterranean. -- .
