This research delves into the networks of Jewish physicians and surgeons who endured trials by the tribunals of the Holy Office of the Spanish Inquisition based in the Americas. The goal is to uncover how these practitioners circulated medical knowledge in the 17th-century Spanish Empire as they faced surveillance and prosecution by the Inquisition. In addition to the research conducted, these funds will also contribute to a digital humanities database project called Jews and Early Modern Medicine in the Atlantic World (JEMMAW). This webpage will feature timelines, maps, archival images, bibliographies, contextual information, and links to archival sources relevant to each practitioner. JEMMAW is intended as an open-access academic resource for the history of medicine, knowledge circulation, and the history of science in the Americas. It is designed for use by students of all levels as well as high school and college teachers. Archival research and analysis of collected documents serves as the primary methodology of data collection.This research focuses on three questions: First, how did the popular policing and social ‘otherizing’ relied upon by the Inquisition hinder or otherwise affect the creation and circulation of medical knowledge? Second, did the Jewish nation function as a means of knowledge circulation for Jewish and crypto-Jewish medical practitioners? And lastly, How does the America’s position within narratives of history of science and history of medicine inform our interpretation of past medical practice? This research emphasizes the lived experiences and persecution of surgeons who lived within societies of popular policing, who still managed to produce and circulate valuable medical and scientific knowledge.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项研究深入研究了犹太医生和外科医生的网络，他们经历了设在美洲的西班牙宗教裁判所神圣办公室法庭的审判。目的是揭示这些从业者如何在17世纪西班牙帝国传播医学知识，因为他们面临宗教裁判所的监视和起诉。除了进行的研究，这些资金还将有助于一个数字人文数据库项目，称为犹太人和早期现代医学在大西洋世界（JEMMAW）。该网页将以时间线、地图、档案图像、参考书目、上下文信息以及与每个从业者相关的档案来源的链接为特色。JEMMAW旨在成为美洲医学史，知识流通和科学史的开放式学术资源。它是专为各级学生以及高中和大学教师使用。档案研究和分析收集的文件作为数据收集的主要方法。本研究集中在三个问题：第一，如何做的大众警务和社会的“他者化”所依赖的宗教裁判所阻碍或以其他方式影响医学知识的创造和流通？第二，犹太民族是否起到了犹太人和神秘犹太人医生知识传播的作用？最后，美国在科学史和医学史叙述中的地位如何影响我们对过去医疗实践的解释？这项研究强调了生活在人民警察社会中的外科医生的生活经历和迫害，他们仍然设法产生和传播有价值的医学和科学知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
