Abstract
Pedro Felipe Monlau was a prominent Spanish hygienist and defender of the Miasmatic Theory of Diseases. By the nineteenth-century, Spain had not enough health infrastructure. Monlau's publications became a powerful source of transmission of the dominant scientific ideas of European hygienism. Levy, Londe, Villermé, Chadwick, Farr and Smith were personalities who influenced the thinking of the Spanish hygienist. The aim of this paper is to show whether the Florence Nightingale's hygienist doctrine influenced Spain through the work of Monlau. A review of primary documentary sources was carried out and the results were analysed from the hermeneutic perspective. The Digital Newspaper Library of the National Library of Spain was used as the main resource. Monlau referred to Nightingale eleven times. Nine fragments responded to Monlau's Hygienic Aphorisms. He recommended Nightingale's ideas regarding ventilation, lighting and housekeeping, among others. In addition, Monlau suggested the need for hospital statistics following Nightingale's proposal. In this sense, the surgeon Rubio y Galí was a clear example of its applicability in the Institute of Therapeutic Surgery. Monlau also recognized the work of Nightingale in the Crimean War. The results show the need to make women scientists visible in contemporary history, revisiting the biographies written so far.
佩德罗·费利佩·蒙劳是西班牙著名的卫生学家,也是瘴气疾病理论的捍卫者。到了19世纪,西班牙没有足够的卫生基础设施。蒙劳的出版物成为传播欧洲卫生主义主导科学思想的有力来源。列维、朗德、维勒梅尔、查德威克、法尔和史密斯都是影响西班牙卫生学家思想的人物。本文的目的是表明是否南丁格尔的卫生学说影响西班牙通过蒙劳的工作。对主要文献来源进行了回顾,并从解释学的角度分析了结果。西班牙国家图书馆的数字报纸图书馆被用作主要资源。蒙劳提到南丁格尔十一次。九个片段回应了蒙劳的卫生格言。他推荐了南丁格尔关于通风、照明和家务管理等方面的想法。此外,根据南丁格尔的建议,蒙劳提出了医院统计的必要性。从这个意义上说,外科医生Rubio y Galí是其在治疗外科研究所适用性的一个明显例子。蒙劳还认可了南丁格尔在克里米亚战争中的工作。研究结果表明,有必要让女性科学家在当代历史中出现,并重新审视迄今为止所写的传记。
