Meetings of professors of the Faculty of Medicine of the Valencia University between 1683 and 1707

Abstract

The University of Valencia at the time when traditional local law prevaliled lacked the documentary riches that the Castilian universities offered to investigators. Essential among these materials are the minutes of the University professors which allow to gain a more dynamic view of the university phenomenon and a better understanding of academic life. Hitherto we had only known the agreements adopted by the full meeting of professors of the Valencia University, and none but indirect references were available from other essemblies held by the professors of the Faculty of Medicine and by the professors of the different faculties. The current articles proves their existence and produces the minutes of the meetings of the professors of medicine during the years previous to the repeal of the traditional local laws.
