Medical Cultures of the Early Modern Spanish Empire
Early modern Spain was a global empire in which a startling variety of medical cultures came into contact, and occasionally conflict, with one another. Spanish soldiers, ambassadors, missionaries, sailors, and emigrants of all sorts carried with them to the farthest reaches of the monarchy their own ideas about sickness and health. These ideas were, in turn, influenced by local cultures. This volume tells the story of encounters among medical cultures in the early modern Spanish empire. The twelve chapters draw upon a wide variety of sources, ranging from drama, poetry, and sermons to broadsheets, travel accounts, chronicles, and Inquisitorial documents; and it surveys a tremendous regional ...

LA RUPTURA MATRIMONIAL EN LA ANDALUCÍA DE LAS `LUCES ´
La obra estudia la ruptura matrimonial en el antiguo Arzobispado de Sevilla (las actuales diócesis de Huelva, Sevilla y Jerez de la Frontera), en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Un periodo en el que, pese al avance de la sensibilidad dieciochesca y sus renovadas normas de comportamiento en el ámbito público y privado, siguen vigentes muchos de los conflictos maritales localizados en siglos anteriores. Ante el tribunal arzobispal pasaron hombres y mujeres con sus razones y sus quejas -malos tratos, infidelidades, desgobierno...-, que nos ofrecen una imagen de la realidad por la que debieron transitar los matrimonios mal avenidos del momento. También, de las respuestas facilitadas por la Justicia y el Derecho canónicos de entonces.
