Resum

The divergence of Madrid and Antwerp indicates the beginning of two distinct scientific cultures, each with its own practices and political ends, each with a different historiographic destiny. Spanish naturalists came to distrust printed works by Mattias L'Obel, Rembert Dodoens, and Clusius; print, according to Bernardo de Cienfuegos, was a medium apt only for frivolous works that were essentially ludic. By the seventeenth century in Spain, serious natural history was done by men who put pen to paper and controlled every aspect of the finished work.
