The search for wellbeing and health between the middle ages and the early modern period / edited by Javier López Rider.

"The search for wellbeing and health between Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period compiles a series of works on cosmetics and health care, covering different geographical areas of Europe. The studies also focus on different cultures, with some chapters dedicated to the Hebrew sphere, others to the Muslim world, and a larger percentage dealing with Christian society."--From publisher.
