Abstract
La medicina europea de la Edad Moderna estaba basada en la medicina clásica tradicional griega y romana. La llegada de algunas plantas americanas, en especial la planta de la quina, y su uso terapéutico fue causa de polémicas y discrepancias entre médicos y boticarios. Disputas que dieron lugar a bastantes publicaciones en la España de finales del siglo XVII que se conservan en la Biblioteca Histórica de la Universidad Complutense y que podrían resumirse bajo este título “la polémica sobre el uso de la quina”.

The advent of some American plants, especially cinchona, and its therapeutic use, cause a great controversy among physicians and apothecaries. These disputes raised many publications on the subject in Spain and preserved at the Biblioteca Histórica UCM and could be summarized under the heading "the controversy over the use of the cinchona”
