Gómez Pereira's Antoniana Margarita (1554) represents one of the most original works of his time. Its author develops some issues of great impact in later philosophy, such as animal automatism, soul-body radical separation and self-awareness.
Nearly a century before Descartes, Gómez Pereira published the Antoniana Margarita with the purpose of demonstrating the thesis of animal automatism, among many other things. The author included in his book several proofs of animal insensitivity and an original model aimed at explaining animal behaviour in the grounds of a purely mechanical system. In this sense, Pereira's work represents a critical appraisal of the traditional scholastic theory of the animal mind, as well as one of the first efforts to develop this question in the field of empirical observation and physio¬logical knowledge. It is precisely for this reason that Gómez Pereira must be recognized as one of the most valuable thinkers of the Spanish Renaissance. The editors, García Valverde and Maxwell-Stuart, offer the first critical edition of the Latin text, a careful translation and an extensive study that contextualizes its content in the philosophy of the sixteenth century.

José Manuel García Valverde, Ph.D. (2004), University of Seville, is Professor of Renaissance Philosophy as well as Greek Classical Thought. He has published critical editions, translations and many articles on the history of Aristotelianism, including Giacomo Zabarella. De rebus naturalibus (Brill 2015). Peter Maxwell-Stuart, PhD (1994), FRHS, FSA (Scotland), is Reader in History at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. He has published many monographs and articles on Classical subjects and the occult sciences in Mediaeval and early modern Europe.
