Medicine and religion were intertwined in the middle ages; here are
studies of specific instances. The sheer extent of crossover -
medics as religious men, religious men as medics, medical language
at the service of preaching and moral-theological language deployed
in medical writings - is the driving force behind these studies.
The book reflects the extraordinary advances which 'pure' history
of medicine has made in the last twenty years: there is medicine at
the levels of midwife and village practitioner, the sweep of the
learned Greek and Latin tradition of over a millennium; there is
control of midwifery by the priest, therapy through liturgy,
medicine as an expression of religious life for heretics, medicine
invading theologians' discussion of earthly paradise; and so on.
