Excerpt from Pre-Columbian Leprosy Lopra en el Peru. His notes were taken from the Historical Discourse on the Foundation and Rights of the Hospital San Lazaro, Lima, by Bravo de Lagunas, published in Lima, 1761. This work is in the library of Santiago de Chile. Dr. Lagunas shows the first royal ordinance for the care of lepers and for the foundation of a hospital was made in the time of Charles III. In 1698, the aims were ordered to be used for the en port of a hospital for Indians. Finally, Philip I prescribes that such sick persons as are afflicted with contagious diseases be carried to elevated localities, from which no defiled wind having passed the hospitals, can flow down and reach the healthy population of the lowlands.

Through an unprecedented multidisciplinary and global approach, this book documents the dramatic several-thousand-year history of leprosy using bioarchaeological, clinical, and historical information from a wide variety of contexts, dispelling many long-standing myths about the disease. Drawing on her 30 years of research on the infection, Charlotte Roberts begins by outlining its bacterial causes, how it spreads, and how it affects the body. She then considers its diagnosis and treatment, both historically and in the present. She also looks at the methods and tools used by paleopathologists to identify signs of leprosy in skeletons. Examining evidence in human remains from many countries, particularly in Europe and including Britain, Hungary, and Sweden, Roberts demonstrates that those affected were usually buried in the same cemeteries as others in their communities, contrary to the popular belief that they were all ostracized or isolated from society into leprosy hospitals. Other myths addressed by Roberts include the assumptions that leprosy can’t be cured, that leprosy is no longer a problem today, and that what is called “leprosy” in the Bible is the same illness as the disease with that name now. Roberts concludes by projecting the future of leprosy, arguing that researchers need to study the disease through an ethically grounded evolutionary perspective. Importantly, she advises against use of the word “leper” to avoid perpetuating stigma today surrounding people with the infection and resulting disabilities. Leprosy will stand as the authoritative source on the subject for years to come.
