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.\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e JOSEPH ZIEGLER, PEREGRINE HORDEN, KATHRYNTAGLIA, JESSALYN BIRD, PETER BILLER, DANIELLE JACQUART, MICHAEL McVAUGH, MAAIKE VAN DER LUGT, WILLIAM COURTENAY, VIVIAN NUTTON.","brand":"Peter Biller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280282956027,"sku":"9781903153079","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781903153079_f9026fca-f8dc-4cbb-8487-195efd1f9753.jpg?v=1772487919","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/religion-and-medicine-in-the-middle-ages-9781903153079","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
