Prior To The Reintroduction Of Classical Medical Treatises Through Arab Authors Into European Cultures, Mental Disorders And Bodily Diseases Were Primarily Attributed To Moral Corruption, Demonic Influence And Superstition. This Book Explores The Intersection Between Medicine And Literature In Medieval Iberian Literature And Culture. Its Overarching Argument Is That Thirteenth- And Fourteenth-century Iberian Authors Revalorized The Interconnection Between The Body, The Mind, And The Soul In Light Of The Evolving Epistemology Of Medicine.
