Multos Ex Medicinae Arte Curaverat, Multos Verbo Et Oratione:Curing in Medieval Portuguese Saints’ Lives

Abstract

The following is a description of a miracle attributed to the Portuguese friar-physician, Gil de Santarém (d. 1265): … Domingas Pires… had a great abscess on her left hand and for more than forty days had suffered pain so strong that she could not bear it. She went to Gil’s tomb and, scattering some of its earth on her hand and arm, she prayed in supplication and with tears to the blessed man that, since in life he had been a physician not only of souls but also of bodies and had cured many through the art of medicine and through word and prayer and now that he was powerful with God, he would deign to cure this his supplicant. As soon as she had prayed, her very serious abscess burst spontaneously.
