N1 - Funding Information: The book evolved from a doctoral dissertation and still bears the mark of the tremendous and much appreciated support I received as a Scholion junior fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It could not have been written without the support of the Yad Hanadiv Foundation that sponsored my post-doctorate fellowship. I thank Natania Isaac of the Foundation for her enthusiastic assistance. I was extremely privileged to receive the arc Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions’ Early Career International Research Fellowship. It was a wonderful opportunity to be in the midst of scholars devoted to questions and materials similar to my own, share research and exchange thoughts. The generosity of the program and more importantly the people at the nodes in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney has been inspiring. In particular I would like to thank, Susan Broomhall, Kirk Essary, Yasmin Haskell, Andrew Lynch, and Pam Bond.

N2 - "Caring for the Living Soul identifies the fundamental role emotions played in the development of learned medicine and in the formation of the social role of the 'physicians of the body' in western Mediterranean between 1200 and 1500. The book explores theoretical debates and practical advice concerning the treatment of the 'accidentia anime' in diverse medical sources. Contextualizing this literature within the developments in natural philosophy and pastoral theology during the period, and alongside local and social contexts of medical practice, emotions are revealed to have been a malleable topic through which change and innovation in the field of medicine transpired. Bringing together a wide range of untapped sources and creating connections between emotions, religious authorities, and medical practitioners, this study sheds light on the centrality of the discourses of emotions to the formation of the social fabric"--Provided by publisher.
