Focusing on individual Jesuits and underlining the relationships of their work to the religious goals of the Society of Jesus, the book covers the disciplines of natural history, cartography, medical botany, astronomy and the topics pursued by the former missionaries in their Italian exile. Based on many so far unexplored manuscripts and a vast corpus of primary sources, the book argues the existence of a tradition of research on nature consistent with universal Jesuit science and at the same time original in its articulation of Western learning and aboriginal lore on nature. 410 0$aHistory of science and medicine library.$pScientific and learned cultures and their institutions ;$vVolume 11. 606 $aReligion and science 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a500.88/27153089 700 $aAsu?a$b Miguel de$0897854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814247103321 996 $aScience in the vanished Arcadia$94126940 997 $aUNINA
