“…6 His theological texts were widely spread across the West, not only in the Paleochristian period but also in the Middle Ages, when a manuscript tradition is attested as early as the eighth century (Meyers 2015). Laurence Mellerin (2015) has shown, for example, that Augustine borrowed the notion of unforgivable sins from Tertullian's exegesis of the gospels of St John and St Matthew. 7 About 800 occurrences of the term charismata can be found in the Latin texts of early and medieval Christianity in the Latin West between the third and the fifteenth centuries, by 117 authors and in 203 texts.…”

Based on Henri de Mondeville’s treatise on surgery, this article focuses on his practice and explores the surgeon’s awareness of the concept of charisma and its implications for his professional activities. It seeks to demonstrate the medieval textual continuity of the concept of charisma, its relevance to medieval medical vocation and training, and the fact that charisms remained central to the act of care for this surgeon, who acted for the common good and in fear of divine judgment. This essay looks at possible limiting factors in surgical practice, such as theological issues concerning the body and soul, or the consideration of the notion of moral responsibility. Do charisma, faith, and divine intervention absolve the surgeon from such responsibility? This article will examine whether de Mondeville’s surgical practice was based on predefined principles and non-intervention in the natural order of things or if, on the contrary, the medieval surgeon was accountable for his actions and their consequences independently of divine grace, due to his making a reasoned choice in the context of an ethical approach. This analysis shows that the elements involved in medical decision-making rely on a moral basis, influenced by the Christian religion and normed by religious texts, but do not exclude recourse to an applied code of ethics for specific cases, reserving all freedom of action.
