"These essays would stand as independent contributions, yet they can be read comparatively to advantage, as shown in this volume. Well researched yet accessible, they represent a full range of perspectives on health and healing in the early modern Iberian world."- S. L. Kwosek, South Carolina State University (CHOICE) "These essays are individually enlightening and work well in conjunction with one another. The volume is overall nicely cohesive and offers many useful new perspectives. It will be of interest to scholars from a range of disciplines." - Kristy Wilson Bowers, University of Missouri (Nuncius)
