- Resum
- In 1555 Spanish physician and naturalist Andres Laguna (1511?-1559) published his commented Spanish translation of Disocoride's Materia medica which he addressed to prince Philip who was about to be crowned King of Spain. The work quickly became an essential reference, even outside Spain, and contributed to the circulation of natural and medical knowledge in the late Renaissance while being reissued numerous times. Starting from an examination of the material and intellectual conditions surrounding the production of this work, our article reflects on the development of a renewed medical and natural knowledge while devoting special attention to how the new information was assimilated and put in circulation in often widely disparate geographic, social and intellectual contexts. Our aim is to examine Laguna's world vision in political and cultural terms and how Laguna generated it by reconstructing the natural productions of the world and their therapeutic use. Our aim is try and capture the image of the Iberian empires that took shape in his translation and commentaries without losing sight of the fact that this occurred in a very particular political context: that of the delicate transfer of power from Charles V to Philip II.
