This path-breaking collection offers an integrative model for
understanding health and healing in Europe and the Mediterranean
from 1250 to 1550. By foregrounding gender as an organizing
principle of healthcare, the contributors challenge traditional
binaries that ahistorically separate care from cure, medicine from
religion, and domestic healing from fee-for-service medical
exchanges. The essays collected here illuminate previously hidden
and undervalued forms of healthcare and varieties of body knowledge
produced and transmitted outside the traditional settings of
university, guild, and academy. They draw on non-traditional
sources -- vernacular regimens, oral communications, religious and
legal sources, images and objects -- to reveal additional locations
for producing body knowledge in households, religious communities,
hospices, and public markets. Emphasizing cross-confessional and
multilinguistic exchange, the essays also reveal the multiple
pathways for knowledge transfer in these centuries. Gender, Health,
and Healing, 1250-1550 provides a synoptic view of how gender and
cross-cultural exchange shaped medical theory and practice in later
medieval and Renaissance societies.
