摘要：The object of the analysis carried out in this paper is a global and descriptive examination of the social identity of the physicians that practiced medicine in Salamanca during the 18th century. Through their biographies we obtain profiles, careers and behavior that confirm the rich diversity of this community. By studying their family ties, their relation with the local elite, and the social networks engaged throughout their lives and careers we may reconstruct the context and dynamics of their relational world and establish their role in the processes of social mobility. The methodological approach set out in this paper combines prosopography and an analysis of the social networks (family, friendship, business), which constitutes an unexplored tool in the social analysis of the medical profession.
