Information Text: In the early modern period, numerous texts deal
with professions by presenting the knowledge required in each case,
individual fields of activity, purpose, origin and prestige. The
course of argumentation is humanistic, insofar as it mostly starts
from the human being. The ancient idea of the primacy of mental
work over manual work is formative here. The importance of Spain
results from the fact that the Spanish king Charles V was both
emperor and ruler of the colonies in America, i.e. he ruled a world
empire by the standards of the time. After discussing some central
categories, overall representations of knowledge, professions, and
prominent professional representatives are presented. Here, the
hierarchization and its relativization by satire is revealing. The
mechanical arts and the artes liberales are then presented on the
basis of individual professions selected as characteristic
examples, each with its own specific knowledge. The higher
faculties of medicine, theology and jurisprudence with their
representatives form the conclusion.
