The cutaneous disease of Saint Ubald of Gubbio (1084–1160)

Abstract

Ubald was a Catholic Church Saint (1084 – 1160), born in Gubbio (Umbria, Italy) and died after two years of painful illness; his mummy is now guarded in a glass sarcophagus at Sant'Ubald Cathedral in Gubbio. Informations about Ubald are derived by his two main biographers: Iordanus (Giordano) of Città di Castello¹ and Theobaldus (Teobaldo), his successor in the episcopal seat².
