Marvels of Medicine - Literature and Scientific Enquiry in Early Colonial Spanish America

'Marvels of Medicine is one more valuable addition to the field and stands as an example of the intertextual delights available to us when we bring these skill sets to our reading of early medical writing. [...] The reader finds a rich blend of analysis of medical terminology and rhetorical strategies that opens up these medical works to a broader scholarship for consideration and shows how they added to the rise of a particular Latin-American consciousness and stand at an intersection of medicine and coloniality. [...] Marvels of Medicine offers a very interesting prism through which to engage with medical, social and literary thought in early modern scholarship and creates scope for similar intertextual analysis in this and later periods of medical writing.' - Fiona Clark, Bulletin of Spanish Studies
