ABSTRACT
Second, in retrieving archival records of the activity of the civic offices responsible for maintenance, Geltner also joins the call of other medieval public health historians to expand the scope of health histories beyond the activity of medical personnel. I Roads to Health i was published just a few months before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent re-emergence into public consciousness of how health issues may impact all of society. Third, Geltner demonstrates that public health has a longer history than claimed by much modern historiography and that the Black Death, the plague of 1348, was not the watershed of public health measures as it is often claimed to have been.
