El recetario impagado de un rector de la Universidad de Valladolid en el siglo XVI / A Pad of Unpaid Prescriptions of a Chancellor of the University of Valladolid in the Sixteenth Century.
Abstract
RESUMEN: El trabajo que presentamos tiene como objeto fundamental la edición y estudio de las recetas halladas en un pleito litigado en el tribunal de la Chancillería de Valladolid, al que llegaron porque Félix de Manzanedo, rector de la Universidad y Oidor del citado tribunal, no se las pagó al boticario Francisco de Madrid ni a su viuda, María de Ayala, que es quien reclama la deuda y demandó al catedrático. A través del análisis de las recetas se pueden conocer los nombres de dos de los médicos más importantes de Valladolid en el siglo XVI, Juan de Peñaranda y Pedro Enríquez, así como el conocimiento que tienen, tanto ellos como el boticario que las expende, de las sustancias medicinales y el modo en que se preparan y combinan en los años medios del siglo.
ABSTRACT: The present paper aims to offer an edition and study of some prescriptions included in a sixteenth-century lawsuit litigated in the Real Chancillería of Valladolid. María of Ayala, the widow of the apothecary Francisco of Madrid, sued Félix Manzanedo, chancellor of the University of Valladolid and magistrate in the aforesaid court, because he had failed to pay his long-standing debt to the apothecary, and she substantiated her claim with the prescriptions his deceased husband kept. By studying these prescriptions it becomes possible to ascertain the names of two of Valladolid’s most prestigious doctors in the mid-sixteenth century: Juan of Peñaranda and Pedro Enríquez. They give us also an insight into the knowledge that both the doctors and the apothecary had of the active ingredient of medications and into their ability to prepare and combine those ingredients in their efforts to create effective treatments.
