Born in the year 1591. He studied medicine at the University of Salamanca, and finished his career back to Sevilla where he was established. Figure at a meeting of the main doctors who make up a tribunal to adjudicate the most important issues of medical science. Author of several books on medicine, literature and medical policy. At a congress held at the Monasterio de la Encarnación (Monastery of the incarnation), in 1655, that lasted three days and brought together personalities of all universities in the kingdom was discussed whether the kings of Spain had the power to expel demons. One of the doctors involved, named Negrete, argued this point. The attempt to establish a tradition of taumaturgia of Spanish kings, collides with the traditional Spanish scepticism on the matter. The affair provoked angry responses or simply mockery, as is the case with Jeronimo de Barrionuevo, who ridiculed by informing its readers that a doctor had argued in Andalusia, that like the kings of France having the gift of healing the scrofula, the kings of Spain are able to expel demons: "This is not a joke. Their views will be published and as soon arrive at my hands I will make them available to you, "he said. Caldera de Heredia participates in this debate with this short work, and although a much more serious, is not necessarily less skeptical. In contrast with those who argued the power to exorcise the kings of Spain, Caldera insists that a physical entity can in no way on a spiritual exercise power. According to Caldera spiritual action is always higher than the action in good bodily metaphysics and theology. As for the example of Negrete on some herbs and other known substances used to expel demons, Caldera believes that such remedies are effective only when the devil works through an intermediary and cause an imbalance in the humors.
