Resumo: This thesis proposes an analysis of the relations among medical knowledge and power via Arnau de Vilanova (1240 – 1311) path and his medical performance taking care of king James II of Aragon's (1291 – 1327) health and of his family's as well as his role as an aragonese court Ambassador. He was an example of physician, master and intellectual of the period. Therefore, he was a character that did not only follow closely the transformations by which society was passing trough, but influenced his time by his medical and religious writings. It was brought together a diversified documentary corpus composed by: medical works written by Arnau de Vilanova, the official Aragon Crown correspondence, his testament (1305), the inventory (1312) of books and goods from his personal library and a contemporary culinary book. It is debated the process of construction of his authority as an intellectual, in the years dedicated to teaching at the Medicine Faculty in Montpelier, which granted him the professional appreciation and privileges, that allowed him to circulate around the Royal and Pontifical Court while exercising medicine. Besides offering a collection of a physician and a master, the inventory of his library allow us to identify the ancient and Arabian matrices of the Arnau de Vilanova dietetics: Hippocrates, Galen, Rhazes and Avicenna. Thus, Arnau de Vilanova composed the Regimen to the conservation of the king's health, seeking to adapt these auctoritates' knowledge with the individuality of his patient. On this writing the preventive and therapeutic precepts destined to heal the monarch's chronic diseases center itself on a diet, with orientations not only concerning the food that he could consume, but also how to prepare them. His other dietetic writing, the Regimen Castra Sequentium, connected with military preventive medicine, it's destined to the kings' and its army health, which, on 1309's summer, besieged the Muslim city of Almeria on the Aragonese crusade opposite to nazari kingdom of Granada.
