Leprosy and society in Rouen, c. 1100 - c. 1500. (360G-Wellcome-084951_Z_08_Z)

£112,756

My research project will build upon my PhD thesis, Charity in Rouen in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries (with special reference to Mont-aux-Malades) . I will expand my study of the leper house of Mont-aux-Malades to encompass the longer period c. 1100 c. 1500, and will investigate other medical and charitable activities at Rouen in this period. In the Archives d partementales de la Seine-Maritime, Rouen, I will examine charters and other documents relating to Mont-aux-Malades, the leper h ouse of Salle-aux-Puelles, the hospital of La Madeleine, and other monasteries that assisted the sick. I will also study documents in the Biblioth que Municipale, Rouen, the Archives d partementales de l Eure, vreux, the Archives Nationales, Paris, and the Biblioth que Nationale, Paris. I will write a 120,000-word monograph, Leprosy and society in Rouen, c. 1100 c. 1500 . In the context of the recent studies of Carole Rawcliffe and Fran ois-Olivier Touati, the book will aim to establish the exact identity of lepers in medieval society. It will consider the status of lepers within and outside leper house communities at Rouen, and will investigate the responses of the healthy to the leprous. It will aim to increase our understanding of medieval leprosy, medicine and society.
