Abstract(s)
A expedição comandada por Fernão de Magalhães ao serviço da coroa espanhola constituiu um marco decisivo, não só em termos económicos, como no que respeita ao conhecimento dos oceanos, da fauna e da flora. O presente artigo procura abordar o contributo da viagem de Magalhães-Elcano na busca das especiarias. Tendo em especial atenção a produção europeia sobre a expedição e os seu efeitos, com particular incidência sobre a recepção veiculada no Sacro Império Romano-Germânico, e com base em diferentes fontes, como relatos de viagens, cróni cas ou mapas, procura-se definir de que modo o conhecimento sobre o mundo natural índico usufruiu da expedição magalhânica para a construção de uma nova suma do saber botânico.
The expedition led by Fernão de Magalhães on behalf of the Spanish crown represented a decisive milestone, not only in economic terms, but also in terms of knowledge about the oceans, fauna and flora. This essay seeks to address the contribution of Magalhães-Elcano’s voyage in the quest for spices. Taking European literature concerning the expedition and its repercussions into special consideration, with a particular focus on the reception by the Holy Roman-Germanic Empire, based on different sources, such as travel reports, chronicles and maps, we aim to define how knowledge of the natural Indian world benefited from the Magellanic expedition to build a new body of botanical knowledge.
