La route des succédanés. Les remèdes exotiques, l'innovation médicale et le marché des substituts au XVI e siècle
Cet article explore l'histoire des drogues exotiques à travers une question centrale quoique souvent ignorée : l'usage des succédanés. Il compare pour cela les plantes originaires d'« Orient » aux plantes originaires d'Amérique, parce qu'elles occupent une place opposée dans ce processus. D'un côté, les remèdes orientaux les plus utilisés au xvi e siècle sont connus depuis le Moyen Âge, voire l'Antiquité. Aux côtés des épices, avec lesquelles ils…
Pharmacy, Testing, and the Language of Truth in Renaissance Italy
This article examines the role of testing and innovation in sixteenthcentury Italian pharmacy. I argue that apothecaries were less concerned with testing drugs for efficacy or creating novel products than with reactivating an older Mediterranean pharmacological tradition and studying the materials on which it relied. Their practice was not driven by radical experimentation but by a "culture of tweaking"-of minute operational changes to existing r…
Negotiating Transcultural Relations in the Early Modern Mediterranean
Ulisse Aldrovandi’s Color Sensibility
Famed for his collection of drawings of naturalia and his thoughts on the relationship between painting and natural knowledge, it now appears that the Bolognese naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522–1605) also pondered specifically color and pigments, compiling not only lists and diagrams of color terms but also a full-length unpublished manuscript entitled De coloribus or Trattato dei colori . Introducing these writings for the first time, this art…
Specimen Lists
The epistolary exchanges of early modern natural history have long been of interest to historians of science, as they reflect the dynamic nature of the emergent discipline better than the printed volumes of natural history. Less attention, at least until recently, has been paid to the unfinished pieces, the cryptic marginalia, and the practical notes that more often than not accompanied letters. Lists of specimens sent or requested were among the…
