{"product_id":"religion-and-medicine-in-the-peter-biller-9781903153079","title":"Religion and Medicine in the Middle Ages","description":"Medicine and religion were intertwined in the middle ages; here are studies of specific instances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003eProfessor PETER BILLER is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of York; Dr JOSEPH ZIEGLER teaches in the Department of History at the University of Haifa.Contributors JOSEPH ZIEGLER, PEREGRINE HORDEN, KATHRYNTAGLIA, JESSALYN BIRD, PETER BILLER, DANIELLE JACQUART, MICHAEL McVAUGH, MAAIKE VAN DER LUGT, WILLIAM COURTENAY, VIVIAN NUTTON.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Biller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903153077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903153079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e York Medieval Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.41w x 0.88d","brand":"Peter Biller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149444149503,"sku":"9781903153079","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_724ca397-713d-409e-8ff9-60342d650ffa.jpg?v=1688456749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-and-medicine-in-the-peter-biller-9781903153079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
