AB From a general perspective Galenism - che mcdical body of knowledge articulated byche Grcck physician Galen (129-2uh16) and completcd by his followers - seems to be ahomogeneous doctrinal corpus, particularly conccrning pachology. In medieval EuropeGalenism was acccpted unquestioningly as che medical orthodoxy but che Renaissance,wich its characteristic intellectual autonomy, brought about a reappraisal of Greekmedicine. Renaissancc Galenism has rightly been considered disputatious, with scholarsof che time qucstioning received wisdom and encouraging dissent from mainstreammcdical practices, such as blood-letting. Even marginal tenets were open to discussion,partkularly among minor auchors. This paper will explore a particular controversy ofchis pcriod by examining a series of Spanish medical texts written between 1555 and1576. The cexts relace to dietecics and, in particular, to che issue of cold-drinking, chefocus of chis paper.
