We can gain deep insights into the pre-modern world by studying its health-care system, its approaches to medicine, and concept of hygiene. Already the early Middle Ages witnessed great interest in bathing (hot and cold), swimming, and good personal hygiene. Medical activities grew over time, but even early medieval monks were already great experts in treating the sick. The contributions examine literary, medical, historical texts and images and probe the information we can glean from them. The interdisciplinary approach of this volume makes it possible to view this large field in a complex and diversified manner, taking into account both early medieval and early modern treatises on medicine, water, bathing, and health. Such a cultural-historical perspective creates a most valuable bridge connecting literary and scientific documents under the umbrella of the history of mentality and history of everyday life. The volume does not aim at idealizing the past, but it definitely intends to deconstruct modern myths about the 'dirty' and 'unhealthy' Middle Ages and early modern age. 410 0$aFundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ;$vVolume 19. 606 $aSpirituality$xSocial aspects$zEurope$vSources 606 $aBathing customs$zEurope$xHistory$vSources 606 $aWater$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory$vSources 606 $aHygiene in literature 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHygiene$zEurope$xHistory$vSources 606 $aPublic health$zEurope$xHistory$vSources 607 $aEurope$xSocial conditions$yTo 1492$vSources 607 $aEurope$xSocial life and customs$vSources 610 $aHistory of Hygiene and Baths. 610 $aHistory of Medicine. 610 $aPre-modern Health Care. 615 0$aSpirituality$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBathing customs$xHistory 615 0$aWater$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aHygiene in literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHygiene$xHistory 615 0$aPublic health$xHistory 676 $a613 686 $aHIS037010$2bisacsh 702 $aClassen$b Albrecht 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826690903321 996 $aBodily and spiritual hygiene in medieval and early modern literature$94081423 997 $aUNINA
