Peterson, Anna M., "Public Health and Hospitals in Medieval Siena before the Black Death", dins: Casciani, Santa - Hayton, Heather Richardson (eds.), A Companion to Late Medieval and Early Modern Siena, Leiden, Brill (Brill's Companions to European History, 23), 2021, pp. 175-194.

Resum: The aim of this chapter is to explore the methods and institutions dedicated to the wellbeing of the urban population before the outbreak of the Plague in 1348, at which point there was a shift in the hospital landscape. Although traditionally the studies on Sienese hospitals have focused on the Ospedale Santa Maria della Scala, this contribution will explore the network of hospitals and leper houses in the city of Siena, how they differed from one another, as well as the level of care the inhabitants could have expected during this period. It will also touch on historiographical debates regarding the concept of care and cure in a medieval context, and the degree of independence these institutions may have had from municipal and other authorities.
