Viajes a Francia para el estudio de la química, 1770-1833
2001
[ES] Los viajes científicos a Francia durante último tercio del siglo XVIII y el primero del siglo XIX son generalmente considerados, por diversas razones, como una importante cuestión en el desarrollo de la ciencia española de ese período. Los viajes científicos de los pensionados y comisionados de la Ilustración suelen estudiarse como un vehículo de transmisión de nuevas ideas científicas. Por el contrario, el exilio de autores afrancesados y liberales suele valorarse negativamente, como una de las causas de la decadencia de la ciencia española del primer tercio del siglo XIX. En este trabajo se pretende ofrecer un marco general para el estudio de estos viajes y presentar algunas de las p…

Claustros de la Facultad de Medicina de Valencia entre 1683 y 1707
1993
The University of Valencia at the time when traditional local law prevaliled lacked the documentary riches that the Castilian universities offered to investigators. Essential among these materials are the minutes of the University professors which allow to gain a more dynamic view of the university phenomenon and a better understanding of academic life. Hitherto we had only known the agreements adopted by the full meeting of professors of the Valencia University, and none but indirect references were available from other essemblies held by the professors of the Faculty of Medicine and by the professors of the different faculties.

El uso de productos del reino mineral en la terapéutica del siglo XVI. El libro de los <i>Medicamentos simples</i> de Juan Fragoso (1581)…
1999
This work aims to approach us the use of "mineral products" in medicine during 16<sup>th</sup> and 17<sup>th</sup> centuries. To have an idea about the use of minerals in daily practice, we have studied Juan Fragoso's <i>Libro de los medicamentos simples</i> (1581), and Juan Calvo's <i>Antidotario</i> (1580). We have also checked the presence of these substances in Dioscorides <i>Materia medica</i>, version of Andres Laguna, and the <i>Diccionario de Autoridades</i>. In addition, but not exhaustively, we have followed the used of these products in medicine until the present. This work proves the medical application…

Cerviz: una traducción errónea
2000
A Hebrew word, çoref, that appears 29 times in the Bible has been translated mistakenly by cervix in all its Latin editions starting from the Vulgata, and for «cerviz» or its equivalent ones in the modern languages. This work seeks to demonstrate that, in fact, such words have never been pronounced in its equivalent one Hebrew, since the çoref translation should be another.

The Colonial Voyages
2021
In the preceding chapter, we introduced readers to the complex and dense interplay between scientific expeditions, which were moved by scientific interests, and colonialism. In this chapter, we focus on the ways and morphologies of colonial voyages to draw new borders of colonial geographies. Of course, some might speculate both chapters overlap, but one continues the discussion the other leaves. In the introductory chapter, we discussed the imperial machine (and the cultural matrix) that invented, fabricated, and packaged the non-Western “Other” to legitimate the would-be European supremacy. Now it is time to review how Western reasoning develops the gaze to explain and expropriate the new…
Términos persas en escritos anatómicos árabes
1995
The. A. explains the meaning of some Iranian technical words, which appear in anatomical Arab works. They are interesting, not only because they are nearly unknown, but also because they are an evidence of the influence of Iranian culture on the rise of Arabian scientific medicine, and so an encouragement to further investigation on this subject.
