Cover illustration: Illuminated page showing the cure of Amelot of Chambly, painted in the 1330s or 1340s, from Guillaume de Saint-Pathus, La vie et les miracles de Saint Louis, Bibliotheque Nationale, ms. fr. 5716, p. 318, miracle no. 5. Shown on the left bent over with a crippling disease, possibly spinal tuberculosis, Amelot is erect and healthy on the right, in the church of St.-Denis, just outside of Paris. Surviving information from the inquest into miracles at Louis' tomb allows Sharon Farmer to follow the social networks of poor women.
