sur le dedain pour la guérison humaine chez les moines et les chanoines responsable de l'enregistrement des miracles; on preferait les prêtre aux médecins que l'on considérait comme trop chers et inneficaces
The records of 'miracles' in the Middle Ages are among the most valuable documents of medieval popular Christianity. Now available for the first time in paperback, Ronald Finucane's highly praised historical detective-work presents a fascinating account of the extent to which beliefs in pilgrimages, miracles, and faith-healing exerted a hold over the medieval imagination.
