Description

Ronald C. Finucane (au). The records of ‘miracles’ in the Middle Ages are among the most valuable documents of medical popular Christianity. Finucane’s highly praised historical detective-work presents a fascinating account of the extent to which beliefs in pilgrimages, miracles, & faith-healing exerted a hold over the medieval imagination. Through all of these stories, Finucane weaves important new insights about connections between the medical knowledge of the Middle Ages & the incidence of miracles, thus strengthening the argument that the conditions of medieval life unquestionably reinforced popular belief in long dead, miracle-working saints.
