EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting illustration from the 14th century depicts a leper with a begging bowl and rattle, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those afflicted with this devastating disease during medieval times. The image captures the desperation and isolation of the leper, who is shunned by society and forced to rely on charity for survival. The leper's tattered clothing and emaciated appearance serve as a stark reminder of the toll that leprosy took on its victims, both physically and socially. The begging bowl held out in front of him symbolizes his dependence on others for sustenance, while the rattle he holds serves as a warning to alert passersby to his presence. Despite being ostracized and marginalized, this illustration humanizes the leper by showing him in a moment of vulnerability, reaching out for help in his time of need. It serves as a poignant reflection on compassion, empathy, and the importance of caring for those who are most vulnerable in our society. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of stigma surrounding diseases like leprosy and are called to reflect on how we can work towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate world for all individuals, regardless of their health or circumstances.
