- Resum
- This paper aims to analyse how the first corporal work of mercy, “To feed the hungry”, was practiced by the Coimbra's society. We intend to present the way the poor and the sick were fed in the medieval city of Coimbra, and also how their bodies weakened by poverty and disease were care. First, in the context of the development of the “economy of salvation”, we'll analyse the testamentary donations to the poor of food or the money to buy it. Thus, it's our purpose to confirm how these legacies were comprised, to understand which food was most often given to the city's poor and sick and the alms distribution framework along the calendar. Secondly, we'll focus in the food offered by Coimbra confraternities and hospitals, which provided basic survival conditions to the poor and sick. We'll emphasize the examples of Saint Elisabeth and Saint Lazarus hospitals, for which we know the individual provisions distributed since 1328 and 1329, respectively.
