Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Quinze-Vingts, a charitable institution established in the medieval era and dedicated to providing refuge and support to blind individuals in Paris. The author delves into the historical evolution of the organization, examining its humble beginnings as a congregation of blind beggars to its eventual recognition as a formal institution by King Louis IX. The book also explores the complex social and economic circumstances that shaped the lives of blind people in medieval Paris. It sheds light on the challenges they faced, the prejudices they encountered, and the ways in which Quinze-Vingts sought to alleviate their suffering. Through a meticulous analysis of archival documents and contemporary accounts, the author provides a vivid portrayal of the daily lives of the blind residents of Quinze-Vingts, their struggles, their joys, and their unwavering pursuit of dignity within a society that often marginalized them. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the interplay between charity, social welfare, and the experiences of marginalized communities in medieval Europe. It invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of Quinze-Vingts and the ways in which its mission continues to resonate with us today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
