'Anatomy and Anatomists in Early Modern Spain is a rich resource on two levels. It provides a comprehensive, English-language account of Spanish anatomy in the sixteenth century, especially detailed with respect to the university setting. The numerous publications produced in that period, primarily in Spanish, are carefully described in detail as are the myriad of figures who played a part in the development of anatomy. The secondary literature surrounding these topics is also carefully evaluated, and anyone seeking an up-to-date history of anatomy in Spain will welcome this book.' Metascience
