Abstract

The medical cultures of New Spain are the result of a particular confiuence of discourses. These discourses could, in theory, be mutually illuminating; in practice, the contact of medical cultures sometimes led to confusion and misunderstanding. Whether through mutual comprehension or misinterpretation however, the meetings of medical cultures almost always created something new: hybrid or mestizo medical knowledge and therapeutic practices.

Funding for this research was provided by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation ["Cultura médica en la periferia colonial: Nueva España. 1521-1621. HAR2009- 11030-C0201"] and the Charles H. Watts Memorial Fellowship, awarded by the John Carter Brown Library, Providence, RI.
