- Fools and idiots? Intellectual disability in the Middle Ages is a substantial 296 page monograph that was the product of extended research undertaken in a Wellcome Trust fellowship. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it is the first study of people with learning disabilities from the pre-modern period. It utilizes a wide-ranging, dispersed and fragmented source base drawn from contemporary writings on ethics, morals, theology, philosophy, jurisprudence and medicine. It draws upon the use of ancient Greek and Latin, Old and Middle English, old French, and Old and Middle High German.
