Juan Alvarez Borjes, Practica y observaciones del arte de albeyteria (Madrid, 1680)

A farrier of the royal stables, who was also the crown officer examining every farrier and animal-doctor in the monarchy, put his practice into print in 1680. Another royal farrier refereed the book before it was licensed; it argues with named predecessors over reducing a dislocation, and tells readers to flee the hot iron the most cited authority of the trade prescribed.
