摘要
This article analyzes the causes of abortion according to the medical and surgical literature that circulated in Castilian in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These works not only explain the medical causes of the death of foetuses but also show how female health was discriminated against and how doctors were able to produce an incipient causal theory in accordance with the medical and social problems of their time.
