Abstract

Since the end of the sixteenth century the Hanseatic city of Hamburg received a group of impostant Portuguese physicians that became members of its Iberian Jewish community. This article examines the intellectual contribution and the political implications of two of them, Rodrigo de Castro (1546-1627), who authored an important book on gynaecology, and Manuel Bocarro Rosales (ca. 1588-1662/8?), who wrote different astrological and astronomical works with a messianic-political content.
