Description

This Routledge publication explores how Early Modern Europeans encountered and documented the unfamiliar fauna of Iberian America during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing from period texts and illustrations, the book traces the evolution of European attitudes toward New World creatures, from initial fascination with exotic beasts to pragmatic assessment of their economic and medical value. The narrative reveals how these shifting perceptions gradually transformed animals from subjects of wonder and fantasy into subjects worthy of systematic study within early modern natural history, reflecting broader intellectual changes in how Europeans understood and classified the living world.

Key Features

Routledge publication analysing sixteenth and seventeenth century European encounters with Iberian American fauna through historical texts and illustrations.

Examines the transition from wonder-based descriptions of exotic New World creatures to utilitarian evaluations of their practical applications.

Demonstrates how changing European perspectives integrated unfamiliar animals into the framework of early modern natural history and scientific thought.

Draws on primary sources including written records and pictorial evidence from Early Modern explorers and naturalists visiting the New World.
