Description

Explore the complex history of health and sickness in the early modern Spanish empire. This scholarly work examines how a global empire became a meeting point for a wide variety of medical cultures. As Spanish soldiers, missionaries, sailors, and ambassadors traveled to the farthest reaches of the monarchy, they brought their own unique perspectives on health. These traveling ideas did not exist in isolation. Instead, they were shaped and influenced by the local cultures they encountered. This volume tracks those encounters and the conflicts that occasionally arose between different medical traditions. Through twelve detailed chapters, the book uses a diverse range of historical sources to reconstruct these medical stories. Readers can find insights drawn from drama, poetry, sermons, and broadsheets. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the cultural and literary studies of the Spanish empire and the history of global medical exchange.
