Medicine and Religiosity: Exchanges and Interactions (2024)

unapi

The medicine/religion relationship in the Middle Ages is based on the degradation/redemption polarity and on the bond between soul and body: this provides the opportunity for establishing a relationship of analogy and correlation between health (of the body) and salvation (of the soul) and of different forms of ‘spiritual medicine’, also chronologically marked in the long time of the Latin Middle Ages. This ‘spiritual medicine’, which accompanies the development of secular medicine step by step, is therefore essential to understanding the relationship between health, illness, and medicine in the Christian Middle Ages.
