Abstract

At the end of the 15th century Jehan Henry wrote his Livre de vie active de l’Hôtel Dieu de Paris and dedicated it to the nuns-nurses who ran the hospital. Historians of Nursing usually affirm that one miniature of this manuscript illustrates how medieval nurses cared for their patients, but this paper questions the medical meaning of this image and the feminized nature of medieval nursing. The exam of theoretical and practical relations between theology and medicine, besides the rules of monastic orders demonstrate that male and female nurses were not health workers. I proof that medieval hospital nurses embodied the Good Samaritan, and they used the care of the body as an excuse to attend patient’s souls.
