DISABILITY HISTORY AND THE ANCIENT WORLD

(CA. 3000 BCE - CA. 700 CE)

A BIBLIOGRAPHY
4th version,
December 2014.
Christian Laes

Given the vagueness of the term as well as the ever expanding scholarship on
Antiquity, compiling a 'complete' bibliography on disability in the ancient world
would prove to be an impossible or at least an herculean task.
This internet publication is therefore only meant as a working tool for scholars
in the field. I intend to update the list twice in a year. You are kindly invited to
send additions or corrections - also offprints are welcomed.
In the present list, some publications concerning later periods have been
included, mainly because they are of importance for the study of disability in the
ancient world. Needless to say, also this addition is somehow arbitrary.
I am most grateful for the additions and suggestions which have been sent since
the publication of the first version. Special thanks are due to Danielle
Gourevitch and M. Miles for extensive correspondence on the matter.
This fourth version is enlarged by approximately 40 new publications. More
attention has been paid to the world context. Readers will find new entries on
Judaism, the Gospels and (early) Islam. I have also decided to add some entries
of K. H. Leven's Antike Medizin. Ein Lexikon - a goldmine of information. Also
here, choices have been made (in general, I chose for entries on subjects on
which there are no separate studies).
