Medieval Fare
This new book focuses on the multicultural foodways of the medieval Iberian Peninsula (modern Spain and Portugal, although Portugal is not included here at all). The emphasis is on the culinary encounters of Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the peninsula before 1500. Although there is some material on animal husbandry, viniculture, irrigation, cereal crops, and horticulture, this is not an agricultural study. However, it is an interesting introdu…
The “heaviest rains that man had ever seen or heard of
The fifteenth-century royal chronicler Fernão Lopes describes a weather event on 24 October 1384 in which the future King João I of Portugal (1385–1433) failed to attack a strategic castle because of a tremendous storm that caused the army to lose its way in the dark and rendered the roads and river crossings impassable. The city of Lisbon flooded and there was considerable damage to buildings. The description of the storm and its aftermath is by…
Beyond faith
Objectives During the Middle Ages, Portugal witnessed unprecedented socioeconomic and religious changes under transitioning religious political rule. The implications of changing ruling powers for urban food systems and individual diets in medieval Portugal is poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the dietary impact of the Islamic and Christian conquests. Materials and Methods Radiocarbon dating, peptide mass fingerprinting (ZooMS) and…

What is “colonial” about medieval colonial medicine? Iberian health in global context
Colonial medicine is a thriving field of study in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century medicine. Medicine can be used as a lens to view colonialism in action and as a way to critique colonialism. This article argues that key debates and ideas from that modern field can fruitfully be applied to the Middle Ages, especially for the early empires of Spain and Portugal (mid-fourteenth to mid-sixteenth centuries). The article identifies key…

Medical 'Emplotment' and Plotting Medicine
In recent years, historians of medicine in the Middle Ages have tried to decode narratives of health and illness in their original context, attempting to uncover the meanings they may have had for the original audiences, rather than simply using these narratives to plot disease incidence. This article is a study of health, illness and traumatic injury in the chronicles of Fernão Lopes, who wrote in Portugal in the first half of the fifteenth cent…
Both “illness and temptation of the enemy”
Recent historians have rehabilitated King Duarte of Portugal, previously maligned and neglected, as an astute ruler and philosopher. There is still a tendency, however, to view Duarte as a depressive or a hypochondriac, due to his own description of his melancholy in his advice book, the Loyal Counselor. This paper reassesses Duarte's writings, drawing on key approaches in the history of medicine, such as narrative medicine and the history of the…
Visualizing Medieval Medicine and Natural History, 1200-1550
Historians of modern medicine have been aware for some time of the value of images and artefacts as sources in their own right: wax models, clinical photographs, portraits and advertising all require careful interpretation and can be just as informative as written texts. Indeed, they can be viewed as texts to be analysed using post-modern critical methods. This kind of visual analysis has only slowly spread to study of the centuries preceding 180…
Leprosy in Medieval England
This is probably one of the most important publications for many years in the fields of medical, religious and social history. Rawcliffe's book completely overhauls our understanding of leprosy and contributes immensely to our knowledge of the English middle ages. Over the last ten years there have been concerted efforts to challenge preconceived ideas about past disease. Rawcliffe's book should therefore be set next to studies by Samuel K. Cohn …

Isabel of Aragon (d. 1336)
Very little work has been done on Iberian queens and even less on Iberian saints. This study of Isabel of Aragon ( c. 1270–1336), wife of King Dinis of Portugal (1279–1325), who was venerated as a saint from shortly after her death, aims to explore the relationship between Isabel's queenship and her sainthood. It engages with recent research, and critiques obvious comparisons between Isabel and her great-aunt St Elizabeth of Thuringia. Isabel may…
Multos Ex Medicinae Arte Curaverat, Multos Verbo Et Oratione
The following is a description of a miracle attributed to the Portuguese friar-physician, Gil de Santarém (d. 1265): ... Domingas Pires... had a great abscess on her left hand and for more than forty days had suffered pain so strong that she could not bear it. She went to Gil’s tomb and, scattering some of its earth on her hand and arm, she prayed in supplication and with tears to the blessed man that, since in life he had been a physician not on…
The Virgin and the Devil
The story of Theophilus is one of the oldest and most widespread Marian miracles in Christian literature. Theophilus is said to have been a sixth-century priest of Adana in Cilicia, removed from office by a new bishop. Eager to regain his position, Theophilus went to a Jew known for diabolical practices and through him made a written pact with the Devil, sealed with a ring. Theophilus received back his lost status but then began to repent and, th…
