The aim of the present paper has been to explore the medieval evidence on miraculous healings of paralysis and to confront it with modern medical knowledge. Paralysis has been selected as a model for such a study and St. Bernardino of Siena (1380-1444) as a model of a saintly healer. Analyzed were the primary sources and modern literature. Paralysis was found to be among the most frequent diseases in medieval miracle reports, including the healings by St. Bernardino. According to the hypothesis offered in the paper, the majority of medieval cases of "miraculously healed paralysis" was of conversive origin.
本文的目的是探究中世纪关于瘫痪奇迹治愈的证据，并将其与现代医学知识进行对比。瘫痪被选为这类研究的一个范例，锡耶纳的圣贝纳迪诺（1380 - 1444）被选为神圣治愈者的一个范例。分析了原始资料和现代文献。在中世纪的奇迹报告中，包括圣贝纳迪诺所进行的治愈案例，瘫痪被发现是最常见的疾病之一。根据本文提出的假设，中世纪“奇迹般治愈的瘫痪”案例大多源于转换性障碍。
