Book The Medieval Hospital and Medical Practice

Download or read book The Medieval Hospital and Medical Practice written by Barbara S. Bowers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using an innovative approach to evidence for the medieval hospital and medical practice, this collection of essays presents new research by leading international scholars in creating a holistic look at the hospital as an environment within a social and intellectual context. The research presented creates insights into practice, medicines, administration, foundation, regulation, patronage, theory, and spirituality. Looking at differing models of hospital administration between 13th century France and Spain, social context is explored. Seen from the perspective of the history of Knights of the Order of Saint Lazarus, and Order of the Temple, hospital and practice have a different emphasis. Extant medieval hospitals at Tonnerre and Winchester become the basis for exploring form and function in relation to health theory (spiritual and non-spiritual) as well as the influence of patronage and social context. In the case of the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan, this line of argument is taken further to demonstrate aspects of the building based on a concept of epidemiology. Evidence for the practice of medicine presented in these essays comes from a variety of sources and approaches such as remedy books, medical texts, recorded practice, and by making parallels with folk medicine. Archaeological evidence indicates both religious and non religious medical intervention while skeletal remains reveal both pathology and evidence of treatment.

Book The English Medieval Hospital  1050 1640

Download or read book The English Medieval Hospital 1050 1640 written by Elizabeth Prescott and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study concentrates on the architectural remains- many of which are still in good condition and in daily use- to evoke a vivid picture of this development through four centuries. There were almost as many hospitals and almshouses in medieval England as there were monasteries. The original hospitals often based on their monastic counterparts and frequently administered by a religious order, were little more than repositories for the cleansing of souls in the time before death and salvation. Hospitals constructed for the cure of the body are not recognizable until the early sixteenth century. The hospitals gradually adapted to changing social and economic forces, becoming more secular in organization and architectural provision. After the Black Death, monastic-style foundations of the eleventh and twelfth centuries gave way to smaller, more private establishments. Many of the older style institutions failed to survive the Reformation. Generally, the new foundations, sponsored by a new class of founder, flourished. They had changed considerably in character, offering a permanent place of rest in some comfort: so evolved the almshouses as we know it today. -- from Publisher description.

Download or read book The Mediaeval Hospitals of England Classic Reprint written by Rotha Mary Clay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mediaeval Hospitals of England Write a Preface to a work on Hospitals, I replied that I must first see the sheets in proof. This was not due, to any doubt of the ability of the writer, it was due to some doubt as to the adequacy of the material at her disposal. This doubt has been much more than removed. The mass of the material collected is remark able. Still more remarkable is the evidence of the very large part played by Hospitals - in the widest senses of the word - in the social life of the people of this land in the earlier Middle Ages. For the fuller understanding of the social life of our ancestors, this book contributes information of the most luminous character. It will serve also as an example and pattern for young and earnest students of real history, the history of ordinary human beings rather than of generals and of kings. And it must be added that, although the division into numerous headings leads to frequent repetitions of the names and characters of institutions of the nature of Hospitals, it has the great advantage of reducing to order a mass of material which might under less careful treatment have had a chaotic appearance.

Book The English Hospital 1070 1570

Download or read book The English Hospital 1070 1570 written by Nicholas Orme and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English hospitals appeared soon after the Norman Conquest. By the year 1300 they numbered over 500, caring for the sick and needy at every level of society - from the gentry and clergy to pilgrims, travellers, beggars and lepers. Excluded from towns, but placed by main highways where they could gather alms, they had a complex relationship with medieval society: cherished yet marginalised, self-contained yet also parasitic. This book - the first general history of medieval and Tudor hospitals in eighty-five years - traces when and why they originated and follows their development through the crisis periods of the Black Death and the English Reformation when many disappeared. Nicholas Orme and Margaret Webster explore the hospitals' religious, charitable and medical functions, examine their buildings, staffing and finances, and analyse their inmates in terms of social background and medical needs. They reconstruct the daily life of hospitals, from worship to living conditions, food and care. The general survey is complemented by a regional study of hospitals in the south-west of England, including detailed histories of all the recorded institutions in Cornwall and Devon.

Book Medieval Healthcare and the Rise of Charitable Institutions

Download or read book Medieval Healthcare and the Rise of Charitable Institutions written by Tiffany A. Ziegler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Healthcare and the Rise of Charitable Institutions: The History of the Municipal Hospital examines the development of medieval institutions of care, beginning with a survey of the earliest known hospitals in ancient times to the classical period, to the early Middle Ages, and finally to the explosion of hospitals in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. For Western Christian medieval societies, institutional charity was a necessity set forth by the religion’s dictums—care for the needy and sick was a tenant of the faith, leading to a unique partnership between Christianity and institutional care that would expand into the fledging hospitals of the early Modern period. In this study, the hospital of Saint John in Brussels serves as an example of the developments. The institution followed the pattern of the establishment of medieval charitable institutions in the high Middle Ages, but diverged to become an archetype for later Christian hospitals.

Book The Medieval Hospital

Download or read book The Medieval Hospital written by Nicole R. Rice and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicole Rice’s original study analyzes the role played by late medieval English hospitals as sites of literary production and cultural contestation. The hospitals of late medieval England defy easy categorization. They were institutions of charity, medical care, and liturgical commemoration. At the same time, hospitals were cultural spaces sponsoring the performance of drama, the composition of medical texts, and the reading of devotional prose and vernacular poetry. Such practices both reflected and connected the disparate groups—regular religious, ill and poor people, well-off retirees—that congregated in hospitals. Nicole Rice’s The Medieval Hospital offers the first book-length study of the place of hospitals in English literary history and cultural practice. Rice highlights three English hospitals as porous sites whose practices translated into textual engagements with some of urban society’s most pressing concerns: charity, health, devotion, and commerce. Within these institutions, medical compendia treated the alarming bodies of women and religious anthologies translated Augustinian devotional practices for lay readers. Looking outward, religious drama and socially charged poetry publicized and interrogated hospitals’ caring functions within urban charitable economies. Hospitals provided the auspices, audiences, and authors of such disparate literary works, propelling these texts into urban social life. Between ca. 1350 and ca. 1550, English hospitals saw massive changes in their fortunes, from the devastation of the Black Death, to various fifteenth-century reform initiatives, to the creeping dissolutions of religious houses under Henry VIII and Edward VI. This volume investigates how hospitals defined and defended themselves with texts and in some cases reinvented themselves, using literary means to negotiate changed religious landscapes.
