FWIS 250: THE WORLD OF MEDIEVAL MEDICINE
Spring 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 25703
How did medieval Christians understand and treat mental and bodily illness? How did their experiences of pain, sex, childbirth, and death interact with larger concepts of God, nature, and the heavens? What role did angels and demons play? This seminar will explore these issues through close reading of medieval texts.
