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?
