This interdisciplinary volume offers new ways to think about how disease and death, and healing and health, were considered, experienced, displayed, and portrayed across the global medieval world. Reaching across conventional disciplinary, historiographical, and geographical boundaries, Materialities of Disease investigates a broad selection of visual and material artefacts emerging from across the globe—from Western Europe, Western Africa, and Anatolia, to Japan, India, China, and New Spain.

This volume focuses on non-textual narratives about disease that can be read in historical images, objects, human remains, archaeological remains, architectural spaces, materia medica, and other surviving artefacts. Taken together, these contributions, which are diverse and interdisciplinary, highlight and nuance some of the recent critical advances in scholarship being made in and for medical history across many fields
