Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566), el padre de la botánica moderna, da nombre a una llamativa flor y a su color correspondiente, el fucsia. En 1543 combinó sus excepcionales conocimientos de botánica con revolucionarias investigaciones médicas en el The New Herbal, un catálogo de medio millar de plantas y sus propiedades curativas. Aunque se trataba de una obra de confianza y referencia científica, The New Herbal ganó en popularidad, sobre todo, por los detalles y la calidad de sus ilustraciones. Las descripciones de las características, el origen y las propiedades medicinales de las plantas se acompañaban de minuciosas ilustraciones grabadas en madera, lo que permitía identificar las especies y estableció nuevos estándares de precisión y calidad en el universo de las publicaciones de botánica. En la época de las grandes expediciones, The New Herbal también documentó especies del Nuevo Mundo recién descubiertas por los europeos e incluyó el primer registro visual de las plantas del tabaco, el maíz, la judía roja y el cactus. Esta reimpresión de TASCHEN se ha realizado a partir de la copia personal coloreada por el propio Fuchs, que ha sobrevivido milagrosamente a lo largo de cuatro siglos y medio en un estado impoluto. Esta obra, que fascinará a historiadores de la medicina y el arte, jardineros y aficionados a las plantas curativas, incluye más de 500 ilustraciones excepcionales, reproducciones facsímil de textos originales del autor y un artículo que narra la historia de dichas plantas.

Download or read book The Last Conquistador written by Stuart Stirling and published by The History Press. This book was released on 1999-10-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inca civilization of Peru was one of the gratest of the ancient civilizations of the Americas. Famous for their massive temples and fortresses built from huge blocks of stone and decorated with sheets of pure gold, the Incas also developed a system of government, capable of holding a vast area of territory together, and an extensive system of roads, connecting administrative centres, which acted as a means of colonization. Their religion of human sacrifice, worshipping Inti, the Sun God, was forcibly imposed throughout the empire. The population in 1500 numbered between six and seven million, but in the 1530s the Spanish, led by conquistador Pizarro, arrived in Peru. In their search for gold they devastated the Inca culture, destroying its treasures, killing its leaders and bringing to an end the infrastructure of its empire. By the 1570s, native American control in Peru had been completely lost and the civilization was no more. With Pizarro came Mansio Serra de Leguizamon, who became the last of the Spanish conquistadors to die. This book tells his story. After crossing the Atlantic when still in his teens, he played a central part in the conquest of the Incas, survived imprisonment and torture, took an Inca princess as his lover, abandoned his wife for the gaming tables of Lima, and spent the rest of his life in Peru. He died at the age of 78, leaving a famous apology for the conquest in his will. This book takes this document as its starting point, weaving a tale of the vicious subjugation of the Inca civilization.

Download or read book Visualizing Medieval Medicine and Natural History, 1200–1550 written by Jean A. Givens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images in medieval and early modern treatises on medicine, pharmacy, and natural history often confound our expectations about the functions of medical and scientific illustrations. They do not look very much like the things they purport to portray; and their actual usefulness in everyday medical practice or teaching is not obvious. By looking at works as diverse as herbals, jewellery, surgery manuals, lay health guides, cinquecento paintings, manuscripts of Pliny's Natural History, and Leonardo's notebooks, Visualizing Medieval Medicine and Natural History, 1200-1550 addresses fundamental questions about the interplay of art and science from the thirteenth to the mid-sixteenth century: What counts as a medical illustration in the Middle Ages? What are the purposes and audiences of the illustrations in medieval medical, pharmaceutical, and natural history texts? How are images used to clarify, expand, authenticate, and replace these texts? How do images of natural objects, observed phenomena, and theoretical concepts amplify texts and convey complex cultural attitudes? What features lead us to regard some of these images as typically 'medieval' while other exactly contemporary images strike us as 'Renaissance' or 'early modern' in character? Art historians, medical historians, historians of science, and specialists in manuscripts and early printed books will welcome this wide-ranging, interdisciplinary examination of the role of visualization in early scientific inquiry.

The 17th century names of the 634 medicinal plants used in the Pharmacopoea have been painstakingly identified and listed with their modern botanical names--an invaluable resource for all interested in the history of plant-based medicine. The artists directory is included for all who seek commissions from them"--Publisher's description.
