Description
The medico-moral report is a genre peculiar to Catholic Europe: an affliction is described clinically and then weighed for what the sufferer may or must do about it, since remedy and sin could not be separated. Pedro de Horta writes on a grievous and painful disease, addressing both the body and the conscience of the person carrying it. To a modern reader the two halves seem to belong to different books. To his readers they were the same question, and following the argument is the shortest route to understanding how illness was actually experienced before medicine claimed the whole territory.
