History of the Hospitals of Pre-Modern Poland From the Twelfth Through the Eighteenth Centuries

2009 0-7734-4817-9
This book is the first comprehensive study of Polish hospitals from the high Middle Ages through the eve of the French Revolution, a subject virtually unknown in the Anglophone and Polish historiographies. The work examines the ways in which the conflicts between the Church, the nobility, and municipal authorities shaped Poland’s hospitals across six centuries.
