Zusammenfassung: | <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Blood was central to medieval medicine, literature, theology and devotion. This article traces some of the characteristic features of blood in medieval texts in these areas, primarily in German from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries: the invocation of blood as proof; the prohibitions against bloodshed; the misogynist and anti‐Semitic concepts of blood; and the importance of blood in social bodies.</jats:p> |
