From a document cataloged in the Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro as “Curiosidad un libro de medicina escrito por los jesuitas en las missiones del Paraguay (1580)”,\u00a0the article determined that texts on medical matters circulated among the priests of the Society of Jesus who were working in the Americas.<\/p><\/div>\n

Since the first voyages to the New World, the identification of products that could be used as commodities guided observations of plants in the Americas as well as their uses by native populations. Construction of knowledge about flora occurs simultaneously as the market expands; the transit of goods and knowledge is part of a complex process of transforming plants into goods, and constructing knowledge about them played a central role in this process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0In the article The transit of plants: circulation of medical knowledge and practices in South America during the Modern Era<\/a>,\u00a0Heloisa Meireles Gesteira,\u00a0Principal researcher at Museu de Astronomia e Ci\u00eancias Afins (Mast), in Rio de Janeiro, looks at records\u00a0on plants and herbs made by doctors, healers, missionaries, and colonial administrators in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.\u00a0 Her article explores ways of constructing knowledge about flora using the concept of circulation proposed by Kapil Raj.<\/p>\n
