Abstract
The present work tries to determine, after the analysis of different documentary historical sources, which has been the first relevan! work written in spanish language on electrotherapy, gathering, besides an attempt of underlying explanalion to the phenomenon of the electricity, the first app/ications of this physical agent conducted in the area of the therapeutics, in our country. Supported in addition on the opinion of prestigious historians, we conc/ude that the first work relating to the electrotherapy in our country was written by Jase Vazquez y Morales, titled Ensayo sobrela Electricidad de los Cuerpos, published in Madrid, in 1747.
