Book Description:

In histories of early-modern European technology and science, Spain has consistently been overlooked; yet the assumption that Spain contributed little in these fields has hardly been tested against archival evidence. Dr Goodman redresses this misconception. His findings are relevant to all historians interested in sixteenth-century Spanish civilisation and society.
