摘要
This article explores the place of miracle mediators in the spectrum of fourteenth-century healing practitioners. Using the canonisation inquest testimony for Lady Delphine de Pui Michel, collected in Provence in 1363, the article identifies the kinds of healing practitioners available to sufferers and then looks at three miracle mediators in particular. These three miracle mediators show that all of the people making relics available to others for healing purposes had knowledge about how to produce, distribute and use relics. But some also had significant knowledge of health and medicine. This article places miracle mediators in the spectrum of healing practitioners and offers a way to study non-titled female healing practitioners in the later Middle Ages.
