Dear Patrick,
I myself have not yet read, but you can try:
RICHARDS Peter
The Medieval Leper. Boydell and Brewer, 1977, repr. Barnes
and Noble, 1955
BE/RIOU & TOUATI
Nicole Be/riou & François-Olivier Touati,
"Voluntate Dei leprosus": les le/preux entre conversion et
exclusion aux XIIme et XIIIme sie\cles, Spoleto: CISAM,
1991, viii+170 pp.
Maybe also of interest (but I have not checked references to leper
specifically):
*ASPECTS DE LA MARGINALITE/
Aspects de la marginalite/ au Moyen Age. Ed. Guy H. Allard,
Montreal 1975
*EXCLUS
*Exclus et syste\mes d'exclusion dans la litte/rature et la
civilisation me/die/vales. Aix-en-Provence & Paris: E/dition
CUERMA, 1978 (= Senefiance 5)
If you are interested in the patristic/medieval exegesis of the "ulcera" of
Lazarus (Lc 16,18ss.), I can supply you with some materials.
Yours,
Otfried
