Description

Sommario

This article presents the pastoral approach of the Franciscan preacher, Gilbert of Tournai, towards the sick, the lepers and those assisting them in medieval hospitals. The introductory part discusses the structure of the major work of this Franciscan master, the Rudimentum doctrinae, into which has been inserted a large collection of Sermones ad status. The material is then compared with some of the then contemporary works of the same kind, particularly with that of the Dominican, Humbert of Romans.
