medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture [M-R] saints of the day 30. JuneDear Maddie have you had any contact with Carole Rawcliffe at UEA? She may have some ideas? Regards, Rosemary Hayes ----- Original Message ----- From: Madeleine Gray To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2007 12:41 PM Subject: Re: [M-R] Leonard of Noblac and leprosy medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture A student of mine has been working on a database of medieval hospitals in Britain and has come across a remarkable correlation between St Leonard and leprosaria. Nothing in Leonard's life seems to explain this. I once came across a reference to the cult of Leonard of Noblac being brought to Britain by the Templars, which might explain an initial connection, but I don't have any more information than that. Has anyone else got any ideas?
