Medieval Communities and the Mad

Premodern Health, Disease, and Disability is an interdisciplinary series devoted
to all topics concerning health from all parts of the globe and including all
premodern time periods: Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Early Modern.
The series is global, including but not limited to Europe, the Middle East, the
Mediterranean, and Asia. We encourage submissions examining medical care,
such as health practitioners, hospitals and infirmaries, medicines and herbal
remedies, medical theories and texts, care givers and therapies. Other topics
pertinent to the scope of the series include research into premodern disability
studies such as injury, impairment, chronic illness, pain, and all experiences
of bodily and/or mental difference. Studies of diseases and how they were
perceived and treated are also of interest. Furthermore, we are looking for works
on medicinal plants and gardens; ecclesiastical and legal approaches to medical
issues; archaeological and scientific findings concerning premodern health; and
any other studies related to health and health care prior to 1800.
