The present collection by Professor GarcA a-Ballester deals with
medicine and science (i.e. natural philosophy) in the Spanish
kingdoms of Castile and Aragon between the 13th and the 17th
centuries. It includes a new English version of a major study first
published in Spanish. While sharing much, including Galenism (which
is the subject of a further collection) as a dominant medical
doctrine, with other parts of medieval and Renaissance Europe,
Spain was unique in having a medical marketplace uniting Christian,
Jewish, Muslim and converso practitioners. The complex processes of
cultural interchange that resulted form the main theme in this
book. Together, these studies have thrown new light on problems of
theory and practice, perceptions of health and disease, and the
doctor-patient relationship, as well as on the social and legal
settings where the healers (physicians, surgeons, barbers, and
apothecaries) of these different religious communities were at
work.
