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.

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.

Download or read book The Science of Describing written by Brian W. Ogilvie and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the diverse traditions of medical humanism, classical philology, and natural philosophy, Renaissance naturalists created a new science devoted to discovering and describing plants and animals. Drawing on published natural histories, manuscript correspondence, garden plans, travelogues, watercolors, and drawings, The Science of Describing reconstructs the evolution of this discipline of description through four generations of naturalists. In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, naturalists focused on understanding ancient and medieval descriptions of the natural world, but by the mid-sixteenth century naturalists turned toward distinguishing and cataloguing new plant and animal species. To do so, they developed new techniques of observing and recording, created botanical gardens and herbaria, and exchanged correspondence and specimens within an international community. By the early seventeenth century, naturalists began the daunting task of sorting through the wealth of information they had accumulated, putting a new emphasis on taxonomy and classification. Illustrated with woodcuts, engravings, and photographs, The Science of Describing is the first broad interpretation of Renaissance natural history in more than a generation and will appeal widely to an interdisciplinary audience.
