Description
Martín Martínez (1684-1734) was physician to the king, president of the Royal Society of Seville, and the man who did more than any other to break the hold of Galen on Spanish medicine. His Medicina sceptica argues that the honest position, given how little was actually known, was doubt: test what can be tested, and refuse to build systems on the rest. He taught anatomy by dissection when that was still contested, and the treatise on surgical operations bound with the work shows what he thought a surgeon should be able to do with his hands. Feijoo defended him; the schools resisted him; the argument was won after his death. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1748 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
