Is anyone aware of any works cataloguing or even generally discussing
descriptions of disease in early (to AD 1000) Christian writing. I am
particularly interested in descriptions of actual symptoms, although
I am also planning on constructing a chronological catalogue of
references to epidemic, warfare and famine. My primary interest is
demographic and epidemiological, but I am also interested in the rhetorical
and explanatory roles of disease in religious genres.
