Sethina Watson

On Hospitals

Welfare, Law, and Christianity in Western Europe, 400-1320

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A ground breaking study, On Hospitals explores welfare institutions in western law in the middle ages and establishes a legal model for the hospital. Running against orthodox opinion, Watson places welfare institutions, rather than Church-run organisations, at the heart of the medieval hospital's history.
