This section briefly discusses the place of sixteenth century print medical texts written by authors who resided in colonial Mexico within the larger context of the study of Latin American letters. It stresses the need to maintain a distinction between presence and influence when assessing the significance of their texts within larger cultural traditions, both in the context of colonial writing and as outputs conditioned by the logic of scientific progress moving into the seventeenth century, which saw some of the most widely disseminated sources of the previous era slip into obscurity as new medical findings superseded earlier formulations. The conclusion remarks on the important role played by this group of radicado figures who authored the print medical books of early modern Mexico, considering how they articulated intellectual positions that both anticipated and differed from later criollo responses to colonial mechanisms for marginalisation and exclusion.

This section reflects on the cross-fertilisation between science, medicine, literature and art in the consolidation of New World identity and discourse, beyond the sixteenth century. It invites readers to consider towering figures in the cultural history of colonial Latin America, such as writer Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, polymath Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and painter Miguel Cabrera, discussing some of their connections to earlier texts on anatomy and physiology. The epilogue makes a case for redefining the medical texts studied in Marvels of Medicine as early matrixes of colonial rhetoric, scientific and literary objects that charted a course for future colonial subjects’ sense of identity in relation to the larger context of global knowledge production.

Chapter 2 outlines the limits of a normative notion of the body in colonial medical discourse during the last third of the sixteenth century. It centres on a close reading of texts by Alonso López de Hinojosos and Juan de Cárdenas, comparing their ideas with discussions then unfolding in Europe about the purported radical difference between the physiology of Spaniards and those belonging to other ‘nations’ [naciones]. The chapter argues that American medical texts (sometimes unwittingly) became satellite testing grounds for emerging European ideas, not just on social cohesion, but also on racial difference. The juxtaposition of Old World ideas about corporeality with New World medical observations were both metaphorical and literal, given the reliance on Nahua bodies as sources of information to develop modes of care designed primarily to meet the needs of non-Indigenous patients. Despite many shared points of view, the comparison of Hinojosos against Cárdenas reveals a colonial paradox, with anatomy finding accumulating evidence of a repeating body template largely unaffected by a subject’s ethnicity, and physiology advancing instead models that understood racialised bodies as performing differently in arenas like nourishment needs or resistance to disease.
第2章概述了在16世纪最后三分之一的殖民医学话语中规范的身体概念的限制。它以仔细阅读Alonso López de Hinojosos和Juan de Cárdenas的文本为中心，将他们的观点与当时在欧洲展开的关于西班牙人和其他“国家”(naciones)生理学之间据称的根本差异的讨论进行比较。这一章认为，美国医学文献(有时是无意中)成为新兴欧洲思想的卫星试验场，这些思想不仅涉及社会凝聚力，还涉及种族差异。旧世界关于肉体的观念与新世界医学观察的并放在一起，既是隐喻，也是字面意思，因为依赖纳华人的身体作为信息来源，以发展主要为满足非土著病人需要而设计的护理模式。尽管有许多共同的观点，Hinojosos与Cárdenas的比较揭示了一个殖民悖论，解剖学发现了一个重复的身体模板在很大程度上不受受试者种族影响的证据，而生理学则提出了一些模型，认为种族化的身体在营养需求或对疾病的抵抗力等方面表现不同。
