[Giuseppe Cervi, Guillaume Jacobe and the relations between the Royal Society of Medicine and other sciences of Seville and the Royal Society of London in 1736].

The eighteenth century was the century of scientific institutions. Spain did not remain apart from this process, and among the earliest institutions was the Regia Sociedad de Medicina y demas Ciencias de Sevilla, which, although founded at the beginning of the century, really came into its own in the decade of the thirties. In this reappearance of the Sevillian Society Giuseppe Cervi, first court physician to Felipe V and one of the most relevant personages of the Spanish medical panorama of the era, played a key role. This article aims to study the circumstances that surrounded the election of Cervi as a member of the Royal Society of London--thanks to the efforts by the French physician Guillaume Jacobe, hired by the Regia Sociedad, undertaken during a stay in Paris in 1735. The career of this physician and his services to the Spanish medical institution are also further examined.
