RESUMEN: El artículo repasa algunas de las instituciones y textos que describen la pretendida ‘alianza’ entre el saber médico y la Monarquía española a fi nales del antiguo Régimen, en un momento en el que la ‘ciencia de gobierno’ asume ambiciosas labores de vigilancia e intervención. Debemos así atender una incipiente “Medicina de Estado” (siguiendo la terminología germana), que englobaría (de forma poco diferenciada, incluso en útil interferencia, propia, por otra parte, del momento preliberal) la medicina forense o judicial (ligada a la búsqueda procesal de la ‘verdad’) y la policía médica o medicina administrativa, referida a la inspección, a la disciplina (higiene, población urbana, enfermos falsos o indiferenciados) y a la prevención de la enfermedad.
ABSTRACT: This article reviews some of the institutions and texts that describe the so-called ‘alliance’ between medical knowledge and the Spanish Monarchy at the end of the Ancien Régime, at a time when the ‘science of government’ assumed the ambitious tasks of surveillance and intervention. This marks the beginning of a ‘State Medicine’ (from the German “Staatsmedizine”) which included forensic medicine, medical police and preventive medicine.
