Piracy and the Making of the Spanish Pacific World by Kristie Patricia Flannery (review)
La naturaleza en la biblioteca
El redescubrimiento de los herbarios de Diego Hurtado de Mendoza en la Biblioteca de El Escorial permite ofrecer una mirada diferente a la biblioteca del aristócrata, diplomático, coleccionista y poeta granadino. Cuando su biblioteca pasó a manos de Felipe II, tras la muerte de Mendoza en 1575, los herbarios se incorporaron al programa cultural, político y artístico que se estaba creando en torno al monasterio-palacio-mausoleo. Este artículo pret…
The end of phantasmagoria
Bringing it back from Mexico
I cinque libri delle piante of Pier’Antonio Michiel (1510–1576) are kept in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice. Eleven of the 1,028 plant drawings contained in their five volumes stand out for their notable stylistic differences from the rest. The authors advance the hypothesis that these eleven drawings derive from the work of indigenous scribe-artists in the Valley of Mexico. In tracing the various series of copies of them that circulated betwee…
Books, plants, herbaria
This article sets out to throw light on the intellectual and scientific activities of a group of Spanish humanists associated with the diplomat, aristocrat, and writer Diego Hurtado de Mendoza in the course of his fifteen years in Venice, Trent, and Rome, focusing on two aspects that have been neglected to date. These are (a) the integration of practices connected with the study of nature (herborizing expeditions and the production of herbaria) w…
Las primeras historias naturales de las Filipinas (1583-1604)
El trabajo parte de la hipótesis de que el archipiélago de las Filipinas, territorio colonizado desde la Nueva España, sirvió de experiencia, acúmulo, memoria y práctica para la colonización novohispana de otros territorios, señaladamente el Septentrión y las Californias. Si bien los jesuitas hegemonizaron la voz misional-colonizadora en esos territorios (Filipinas primero, el Norte después), antes hubo otros estilos, formas y maneras de escribir…
From Body to Community

Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2016. Pp. 64. The history of venereal disease, referred to by several names (mal de bubas, mal francés, morbus gallicus, Great Pox, etc.) in Early Modern Europe, has been of continuous interest to the hist…
And yet, we were modern. The paradoxes of Iberian science after the Grand Narratives
In this article, we try to explain the origin of a disagreement; the sort that often arises when the subject is the history of early modern Spanish science. In the decades between 1970 and 1990, while some historians were trying to include Spain in the grand narrative of the rise of modern science, the very historical category of the Scientific Revolution was beginning to be dismantled. It could be said that Spaniards were boarding the flagship o…
Science for the People
The Medical Monographs collection Monografies Mèdiques (Monografies hereafter), a series published in Barcelona between 1926 and 1937, provides the optimum conditions for studying the relationship between science, in this case medicine, and its public within the context of Catalonia, which, in the interwar period, might be considered on the periphery of European science
East Indies, West Indies
As I have suggested, it can hardly be fortuitous that precisely these three works were published within a period of no more than 15 years aer the publication of the Colóquios and the opening up of the transpacic route by the Spaniards. Within the limits of the room available in this chapter, I shall try to examine the contexts in which these three works were produced and the proles of their three authors. I shall also propose to interpret them wi…

Pluralismo médico y medicina de la conversión
El artículo propone una interpretación de la obra médica de fray Agustín Farfán (ca.1531-1604) que se enmarca, por un lado, en el desarrollo de la medicina de la conversión en manos de la Orden de san Agustín y, por el otro, en el de una cultura médica novohispana marcada por un pluralismo de saberes y de prácticas sanadoras en continua negociación con los aspectos religiosos y, en consecuencia, en tensión dialéctica permanente entre las competen…

Stories of Disease Written by Patients and Lay Mediators in the Spanish Republic of Letters (1680–1720)
Consultation by mail had been common in medical practice more or less since the time of its consolidation in Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but this mode of communication vastly expanded in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Analyzing a group of letters sent to the Spanish court physician Juan Muñoz y Peralta (1665–1746) by his patients, this article shows how these patients, far from being passive, were actively involved …
