A Journey Between Science and the Arts
Native to America, the pineapple— Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour. As the fruit was unable to withstand Atlantic crossings, it could only reach Europe as a preserve or in the form of textual descriptio…
A presença das mulheres nos Colóquios de Garcia de Orta
Desde finais do século XV que chegavam à Europa promissoras notícias sobre os povos, as riquezas e os contornos geográficos da longínqua Insulíndia. Alguns europeus que viajaram até Goa, detiveram-se a observar os costumes e tradições locais nos quais as mulheres surgiam como protagonistas. Presença quotidiana na sociedade luso-goesa, as mulheres canarins, para além de zelarem pela guarda das tradições indianas eram fieis depositárias dos segredo…
From the Americas to the Philippines. The travels of the pineapple
Originating in South America, the pineapple –Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.– underwent a lengthy domestication process. Since ancient times, the Native Americans had taken it with them on their migrations and valued the sweetness of its pulp, its medicinal properties, and the quality of its fibre. Much later it was described by Spanish chronicles in Central America and observed by European travellers and missionaries along the Brazilian coast. From th…
Assembling the Tropics
In Assembling the Tropics: Science and Medicine in Portugal's Empire, 1450-1700, Hugh Cagle sets out to demonstrate that the construction of the concept of the "tropics" dates back to the days of the great Portuguese voyages of exploration of the fifteenth-seventeenth centuries.More than limiting himself to analyzing a uniform and inhospitable "torrid zone" as described by Aristotle, Cagle argues that this letters, reports, summaries perception r…
The Natural Frontiers of a Global Empire
The great oceanic voyages had unexpected consequences on the pace with which plants moved between the most far-removed corners of the globe. From the mid-sixteenth century onwards, the huge distances covered led to an unprecedented change in the distribution of vegetable species. Settlers and voyagers took European plants with them and introduced them into the Americas, Africa, and Asia. African plants were transferred to America and Asia, and As…
A Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse into the Princeps Edition of Colóquios dos simples (Goa, 1563)

Estratégias, patronos e favores em Colóquios dos Simples de Garcia de Orta
EnglishIn 1563, a remarkable work was published at the Endem’s print-shop, in Goa: Coloquios dos e Drogas e Coisas Medicinais da India. Written by the portuguese physician Garcia de Orta (c. 1500-1568), this volume revealed a renewed knowledge about the Asian natural resources. At a time when the European scholars still hesitate to question the scientific content of the Ancient treatises, Orta dared to question tradition. Relying on the authority…
