Description

Explore the fascinating intersection of medical practices and colonial encounters in early modern Spain through this scholarly volume from Routledge. This book examines how Spanish soldiers, ambassadors, missionaries, sailors, and emigrants transported their medical knowledge across the vast Spanish empire, where their ideas about sickness and health encountered and merged with local cultures. Drawing on diverse primary sources including drama, poetry, sermons, and broadsides, the twelve chapters trace the complex exchanges and occasional conflicts between different medical traditions during a transformative period. Ideal for scholars of early modern history, medical anthropology, and colonial studies, this work reveals how medical cultures were shaped by empire-wide contact and adaptation, offering fresh insights into the intellectual and practical dimensions of global exchange during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
