Description

Explore the deep connection between medicine, trade, and empire in the early modern period with this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the History of Medicine in Context series, this book examines Garcia de Orta's 1563 work, Colloquies on the Simples and Drugs of India. Originally printed in Goa, the capital of the Portuguese empire in the East, this text offers a rare look at the historical landscape where medical knowledge and global commerce met. Written by a Portuguese physician of Jewish ancestry who lived in India for nearly thirty years, the content provides a massive collection of medical data. Readers will find detailed information on various drugs, spices, plants, fruits, and minerals native to India and its surrounding territories. This book serves as a vital resource for understanding how early modern scientific discovery was shaped by colonial expansion and the movement of goods across the globe.
