The aim of this study is to provide an example of medical pluralism and of the different resources against disease available to the inhabitants of the city of Valencia in the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. The work considers conventional health care and in particular details of extra-academic medical practices, i.e. both empirical and religious alternatives that were neither regulated nor based on Galenism. The study analyses examples of folk healing, the sale of miracle cures and recourse to the saints or spells, among others.
本研究的目的是提供一个医学多元主义的例子，以及16世纪和17世纪上半叶瓦伦西亚市居民可用于对抗疾病的不同资源。这项工作考虑了传统医疗保健，尤其详细介绍了学术外的医疗实践，即既不受监管也不以盖伦医学为基础的经验性和宗教性替代疗法。该研究分析了民间疗法、神奇疗法的销售以及求助于圣徒或符咒等例子。
