Miracles and Pilgrims: Popular Beliefs in Medieval England

Abstract

All aspects of Jewish life are dealt with: the Jewish population, the community, economic life, family and social life, religious life and morality, literature, the fine arts, the Renaissance in daily life, and the world of science.In the last of these there is a section on medical science and physicians, but it occupies only six pages.However, this book, which appeared first in Hebrew, is an important contribution to Renaissance studies, and all those concerned with the history of medicine or science during this period must consult it.
