 H-Net Review: Linda Rasmussen on De Spedalskes Hospital. Udgravning af Sankt Jørgensgården i Odense
Odense City Museums and the author is to be congratulated on this publication, which is a thorough examination of the excavations of the leper hospital in Odense and its medieval context.
The results from the excavation at Odense comply with the findings from other Danish leper hospitals in that they seem to date from the thirteenth century which resembles the pattern known from Germany whereas English and French hospitals seem to have been established slightly earlier--in the twelfth century.
The organisation of the publication is the more the pity as the general discussion of leper hospitals in Denmark actually brings a much needed overview of this type of institution and the discussion is a solid basis for further research into this topic.
