medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Here's a list of saints evoqued for relief from syphilis, from Louis Réau's
_Iconographie de l'art chrétien_: St Job, St Antoine, St Denis (Germany),
St Fiacre, St Léonard, St Magin de Tarragone and St Minus (Mire). That's all.
All the best.
