]]> During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, absenteeism from university chairs was a frequent phenomenon in Spanish universities. This abandonment can be explained through several causes, such as the consideration of the professorship as a temporary occupation in the face of better opportunities, low salaries or the obligation to carry out tedious administrative tasks. This resource analyses this phenomenon, focusing on the University of Salamanca during the first half of the seventeenth century.
The fines can be seen mainly in the regency professorships, also called cursatorias. The fact is that the professorships were a compulsory step towards promotion, while the regency professorships were mainly for the purpose of retirement. Particularly noteworthy in this respect were the fines for the Law and Logic-Philosophy faculties, which amounted to more than 300 lessons per year.
