But see Alexander Kazhdan, "The Image of the Medical Doctor in Byzantine Literature of the Tenth to Twelfth Centuries", _Dumbarton Oaks Papers_ 38 (1984), 43-51; Patricia Skinner, "A Cure for a Sinner: Sickness and Healthcare in Medieval Southern Italy", in Joyce Hill and Mary Swan, eds., _The Community, the Family and the Saint: Patterns of Power in Early Medieval Europe_ (Turnhout: Brepols, 1998), 297-309, and Clare Pilsworth, "Medicine and Hagiography in Italy _c._ 800--_c._ 1000", _Social History of Medicine_ 13.2 (2000), 253-64.
