Resum

By tradition, childbirth was an event conducted by midwives, when only exceptionally and in face of extreme difficulties a doctor was called for. When the midwife and the doctor attended, a fundamental distinction emerged between the medical practices used by one and by the other. Having this difference in mind, we analyze in Amatus Lusitanus' Curationum medicinalium centuriae and in Rodericus a Castro Lusitanus' De universa mulierum medicina the Greek and Roman sources that the authors use to treat dystocia — in particular, the Hippocratic treatises De mulierum affectibus and "De superfetatione", as well as Soranos' Gynaikeia — and how the discourse of these authors reinforces the importance of medical knowledge in the context of the difficulties they must face under these circumstance.
