Throughout this flourishing urbanised area hundreds of independent semi-religious facilities appeared, offering care for the ill, the poor and pilgrims en route to holy sites in Rome and the eastern Mediterranean. Over three centuries they became mechanisms for the appropriation of civic authority and political influence in the communities they served, and created innovative experiments in healthcare and poor relief which are the precursors to modern social welfare systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWill appeal to students and lecturers in medieval, social, religious, and urban history and includes a detailed appendix that will assist researchers in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Mayall Brasher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526119285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526119285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Sally Mayall Brasher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065678835967,"sku":"9781526119285","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e13122bd-44cf-48ea-b173-10e2c95dd6f9.jpg?v=1768676565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hospitals-and-charity-sally-mayall-brasher-9781526119285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
