Excerpt from Leprosy and the Charity of the Church Leprosy seems to be a very ancient disease. The 13th chapter Of the Book Of Leviticus treats of the law concerning leprosy in men and garments, and the 14th chapter, Of the rites of sacrifice in Cleansing leprosy. It was regarded by the ancients as adis ease peculiar to Egypt. Herodotus speaks of it: as existing in Persia. Pliny knew of it, as did Diodorus. Lucretius says: Leprosy is a disease born in Egypt along the waters Of the Nile, and nowhere else. The Hebrews brought it with them from their Egyptian slavery and the Mosaic law shows how dreadful must have been its ravages and how great the terror which it excited. Regarding it as a disease sent directly by God, they required that the person supposed to be infected should go and Show himself to the priest, and, if in his Opinion, the disease was leprosy, he was declared unclean and at once separated from the people. SO strictly was the Mosaic law Observed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Leprosy In 1874, Dr. Hansen reported to the Medical Society of Christiania that 'he had often, indeed generally, found when seeking for them in the leprous tubercles, small rod-shaped bodies in the cells of the swellings.' This was the first announcement of the discovery of the bacillus of leprosy, which in less than ten years from that date had been found to be invariably present in leprous tissues in all countries where the disease occurs. The discovery of a specific organism naturally raised afresh the question as to the contagiousness of the malady with which it is associated; leprosy, which had at one time been treated as a most contagious disease, having come to be considered in modern times, by many medical men, as not contagious at all. With the recognition of this special organism, the supposition that leprosy might be contagious was naturally strengthened; but although of late years the belief in its communicability has been steadily growing stronger, we are yet far from having attained unanimity on the point. One of the chief objects of this book is to systematise, for the convenience of the medical profession, the knowledge that has been acquired up to the present time relating to the bacillus leprae, its relations to the pathological changes peculiar to leprosy, and its important bearings on the etiology of the disease.

Excerpt from Suppression and Prevention of Leprosy The thing to which Dr. Goldschmidt and myself attached the greatest importance, was that there should be formed a general committee, composed of official delegates from all governments. Discussions of leprologists, about etiology, etc., were of secondary importance, for whatever is known about leprosy can be learned by any physician, without at tending a congress. Moreover, it is generally admitted that there is no cure for leprosy. Therefore, prevention and sup pression of leprosy can only be obtained by segregation, en forced, of course, by law, and to that effect the meeting of official delegates, not of scientists, was required. The question of the place where the congress was to meet, was, of course, of inferior importance. We naturally thought of Bergen first. As the Scandinavian government seemed to be afraid to take so much upon itself, we turned our minds to London. There we found an obstacle in the general disbelief in contagiousness. Then Moscow was pro posed; and finally, independent of Dr. Goldschmidt and my self, an effort was made and proved successful, to obtain from the German government an invitation to other governments to send their delegates to Berlin. This sending of delegates was what we had been fighting for; it is our plan exactly. Therefore, we renounce our own scheme of calling a meeting at Moscow, content to find our wishes realized, whatever may be the seat of the leprosy congress.

In Walking Corpses, Timothy S. Miller and John W. Nesbitt contextualize reactions to leprosy in medieval Western Europe by tracing its history in Late Antique Byzantium, which had been confronting leprosy and its effects for centuries. Integrating developments in both the Latin West and the Greek East, Walking Corpses challenges a number of misperceptions about attitudes toward the disease, including that theologians branded leprosy as punishment for sin (rather, it was seen as a mark of God's favor); that Christian teaching encouraged bans on the afflicted from society (in actuality, it was Germanic customary law); or that leprosariums were prisons (instead, they were centers of care, many of them self-governing). Informed by extensive archival research and recent bioarchaeology, Walking Corpses also includes new translations of three Greek texts regarding leprosy, while a new preface to the paperback edition updates the historiography on medieval perceptions and treatments of leprosy.
