NOVOA, Rita Luís Sampaio da. Lisbon’s House of Saint Lazarus in the early modern period. Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal [online]. 2019, vol.ser2, n.11, pp.27-45. ISSN 2183-3176.
This article aims to understand some of the components that characterized Lisbon’s House of Saint Lazarus, an institution designed to receive individuals suffering from leprosy, during the early modern period. Firstly, we will focus on aspects relating to the organization of the institution, concerning, in particular, its officials and employees, the patrimony and the incomes it had at its disposal, and the spaces which made it up. Secondly, we will analyse the administrative aspects, following some of the episodes that marked the jurisdictional disputes for the control of the administration of the leper-house. Finally, we will advance the possible conclusions about the patients who lived in the house and about their experience in the institution.
