Jews and Early Modern Medicine in the Atlantic World (JEMMAW) is a digital humanities database aimed at highlighting the circulation of medical knowledge among crypto-Jewish medical practitioners in the Spanish viceroyalties.


Navigating JEMMAW:

Collections:

Collections are organized by practitioner. Within each collection you will find items containing archival documents relating to each practitioner.

Items:

Each item either links to the archival document where available, or contains the images to which JEMMAW contributors have the rights.

Don't see images within a specific item? Don't worry, they're linked!
Directly to the item when possible, or else listed with specific image numbers to help you find the right images quickly. 

Exhibits:

Exhibits contain information on individual practitioners as well as on the group as a collective. Select the timeline, bios, or master map to view. 


This database is currently under construction and will be consistently in flux.
