Natural History as a Family Enterprise: Kinship and Inheritance in Eighteenth‐Century Science
As recent research has shown, many of the activities of early modern (including eighteenth‐century) naturalists were carried out in the household. This article investigates the ways in which family members in particular, both male and female, ended up engaging in kinds of labor which furthered the pursuit of natural history in the eighteenth century. Examining evidence from various different parts of Europe and its colonies, the article argues th…
Placing plants on paper: Lists, herbaria, and tables as experiments with territorial inventory at the mid-seventeenth-century Gotha court
Over the past several decades, historians of science have come increasingly to focus on the role of so-called "paper technologies," reorganizing and transforming information through the use of paper and pen, in the emergence of modern science. Taking as a case study an effort by administrators in the seventeenth-century German princely state of Saxe-Gotha to enlist foresters and herb-women to catalog the medicinal plants of the territory, this ar…

The Indigenous versus the Exotic: Debating natural origins in early modern Europe
During the early modern period, a series of debates arose around the relative value and desirability of 'exotic' vs. 'indigenous' European natural objects. Focusing on such highly visible imports as coffee, tea, chocolate and tobacco, but also scrutinizing a wide range of foodstuffs and medicines (often to be found in the new botanical gardens), 17th- and 18th-century pamphleteers—especially physicians—alternately praised and disparaged the subst…
