Taking the Vesalian anatomical revolution as its point of
departure, this volume charts the apparent rise and fall of anatomy
studies within universities in sixteenth-century Spain, focussing
particularly on primary sources from 1550 to 1600. In doing so, it
both clarifies the Spanish contribution to the field of anatomy and
disentangles the distorted political and historiographical
viewpoints emerging from previous research. Studies of early modern
Iberian science have only been carried out coherently and
collaboratively in the last few decades, even though fierce debates
on the subject have dominated Spanish historiography for more than
two centuries. In the field of anatomy studies, many uninformed and
biased readings of archival sources have resulted in a very
confused picture of the practice of dissection and the teaching of
anatomy in the Iberian Peninsula, in which the highly complex
conditions of anatomical research within Spain's national context
are often oversimplified. The new empirical evidence that this book
brings to light suggests a far more multifaceted narrative of
Iberian Renaissance anatomy than has been presented to date.
