Resumo

As a microhistory research, this paper seeks to analyse two areas connected with medical care and charity practices in the Monastery of Santa Cruz of Coimbra: the domus infirmorum and the St. Nicholas Hospital. Both were built in the middle of the 12th century by the two first priores and followed the St. Augustine canonical rule. The first were the locus of care of sick monks prescribed by the augustinian rule and by all the liber ordinis. The second take care of the poors, the sick and old men and it also the pilgrims. The sick house and the charity hospital favoured the medical studies attested by the titles of the monastery armarium or library and the development of preventive procedures and practica medica.
