Resumen
Muchos son los estudios que abordan de manera general temas de la medicina renacentista acerca del cuidado del cuerpo. Sin embargo, en la práctica, el ideal renacentista corporal y de elegancia afectó de manera muy diferente a mujeres y a hombres. Las mujeres ocultaban casi la totalidad de su cuerpo bajo muchos ropajes, pero, por el contrario, los hombres se alejaban de este aspecto y mostraban siluetas mucho más esbeltas. Para lograr esta buena apariencia y reunir asimismo la ansiada aspiración de ser un gran cortesano, que aunara a la vez armas y letras, debían, por tanto, prestar en su caso una especial atención al cuidado de su propio cuerpo. El siguiente trabajo estudia la gran (o incluso excesiva) preocupación que el escritor cortesano Luis de Zapata de Chaves tuvo sobre la obesidad.
There are many studies about Renaissance medicine, dietetics, and human body care during 15th and 16th century. However, the Spanish Renaissance ideal of body and elegance affected women and men very differently. Women hid almost their entire body under many clothes on one hand and men moved away from this aspect and showed much more slender silhouettes on the other. To achieve this good appearance and gather the longed-for aspiration to be a great courtier, combined arms, and letters at the same time, they should, therefore, pay special attention to their own body care. This work studies the great (or even excessive) concern that the courtly writer Luis de Zapata de Chaves had about obesity.
