Tomás Marín y Cubas (1643-1704), a physician by profession, stood out in his role as a researcher, his main work being the Historia de las siete Islas Canarias.

"All cosmographers depict in this place the Islands of this name Fortunate, which moderns call the Canary Islands: these in antiquity were subject to the dominion of the Iberians, who held the empire of the Fortunate."
