The recipient delivered the inaugural address <strong>\u00abUnder the Shadow of Moria: Cervantes and His Scientific Sources in the Field of the Medicine of the Mind\u00bb.<\/strong> The laudatio was delivered by <strong>Jos\u00e9 Manuel Juiz G\u00f3mez<\/strong>, full academician of this Royal Corporation and Professor of Histology at the <strong>Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In his work, L\u00f3pez Mu\u00f1oz analyzed the influence of medical knowledge on mental disorders during the Late Renaissance\u2014a field in which Spain was a true European power\u2014on the literary works of <strong>Miguel de Cervantes<\/strong>, as well as the technical sources on which the writer may have drawn. Indeed, in Cervantes\u2019 oeuvre the figure of the madman or lunatic appears as a constant, used as a literary strategy through which the author carries out a distinctive exercise in social criticism. Moreover, his literary works constitute a remarkable mirror in which to observe the social structures, customs, and habits of Spain in his time, and they have also helped to broaden our understanding of how numerous diseases (and their remedies), including mental illnesses, were perceived during that period. According to the academician, Cervantes\u2019 literary portrayals of mental insanity are endowed with clinical connotations that suggest he possessed a not inconsiderable knowledge of medicine, possibly derived from his family environment and friendships, as well as from his particular interest in the mentally disturbed\u2014evidenced by records of his visits to the Hospital de Inocentes de Sevilla.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the recipient highlighted Cervantes\u2019 possible familiarity with various treatises related to neuroscientific disciplines, which were very much in vogue in Spain during the Golden Age. He singled out four works in particular: two that the \u00abPrince of Letters\u00bb owned in his personal library and occasionally cited in a fairly approximate manner\u2014namely, the popular <strong>\u00abDioscorides\u00bb<\/strong> (<strong>\u00abDe materia medica and deadly poisons<\/strong><em>\u201d<\/em>) <strong>\u00abExamen de ingenios para las ciencias<\/strong><em>\u201d<\/em> by <strong>Juan Huarte de San Juan<\/strong>; the other two correspond to the medical opuscle <strong>\u00abDignotio et cura affectuum melancholicorum\u00bb<\/strong> by <strong>Alfonso de Santa Cruz<\/strong>, from which the clinical description of the protagonist of the exemplary novel <strong>\u00abEl licenciado Vidriera\u00bb<\/strong> appears to have been drawn, and <strong>\u00abIn Praise of Folly\u00bb<\/strong> by <strong>Erasmus of Rotterdam<\/strong>, whose humanist ideas may have influenced Cervantes\u2019 conceptualization of Don Quixote\u2019s madness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-178929\" src=\"https:\/\/raed.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cervantes-Shakespeare-escritos-antiguos-shutt-1.67.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raed.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cervantes-Shakespeare-escritos-antiguos-shutt-1.67.webp 600w, https:\/\/raed.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cervantes-Shakespeare-escritos-antiguos-shutt-1.67-440x264.webp 440w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" \/>The academician further noted that Cervantes\u2019 extensive knowledge of plants\u2014some with curative properties\u2014likely stemmed from reading and consulting the \u00ab<em>Dioscorides<\/em>\u00bb<em>,<\/em> as L\u00f3pez Mu\u00f1oz himself has shown in several studies. Evidence of this, within the realm of mental pathology, can be found in descriptions of the effects of certain plants that in some cases almost literally coincide with those provided by Laguna, such as the hallucinogenic effects of witches\u2019 ointments, the narcotic effects of opium, and the effects of certain poisons. \u00abOne must always bear in mind that Cervantes\u2019 aim in composing his works, like that of most literary creators, was not to expound on clinical or therapeutic aspects, but rather simple entertainment inherent to an artistic construction, in which technical brushstrokes are merely another ornament and a device to demonstrate a certain learned character. If we ignore this point, we may fall into the fatal error of approaching Cervantine texts as if they were scientific treatises, which would be an absurd way of trivializing science (and, of course, literature as well)\u00bb, the expert concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Academy of Medicine of Castile\u2013La Mancha is a non-profit public-law corporation based in Albacete, dedicated to the study, promotion, and dissemination of medical and scientific knowledge, serving as a reference forum for specialists, teachers, and researchers. Its aims include promoting studies, reflections, meetings and scientific sessions, courses, conferences, publications, reports, consultations, and, in general, any activities that may contribute to the progress and dissemination of biomedical sciences, as well as collaborating with authorities and various organizations by formulating proposals on matters of scientific interest. The institution contributes to the dissemination of research on scientific topics and promotes the study of the most relevant pathologies related to the territory and the history of medicine in Castile\u2013La Mancha. Its origins lie in the <strong>Society of Medicine<\/strong> and <strong>Surgery of Albacete<\/strong>, founded in 1968 as a private association to promote and study medical sciences in all their branches. In 2021 it was awarded the title of Royal by King <strong>Felipe VI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A renowned popularizer of contemporary history, Spanish Golden Age literature, and medicine and pharmacology, L\u00f3pez Mu\u00f1oz holds doctorates in Medicine and Surgery and in Spanish Language and Literature.
