Clean, unmarked pages. xv, 187 p., 22 cm. "Following the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, the cult of the saints was the dominant form of religion in Christian Europe. It was as a religion of holy shrines, pilgrimages, and relics that Christianity absorbed the non-Christian populations of the West. The ecclesiastical hierarchy of medieval Catholicism was based on the close alliance between the bishops and the shrines of the holy." "Owsei Temkin was a director of the Institute of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. Temkin was known as one of the world's foremost experts on the interaction of medicine and culture throughout history. He published hundreds of articles and a dozen books on the history of medicine, including the history and philosophy of Greco-Arabic medicine. His book, The Falling Sickness, a study of views on epilepsy through the ages, has achieved wide renown. Temkin received the Welch Medal and the Sarton Prize and was elected to the American Philosophical Society, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences."-Johns Hopkins Medical Institute.
