Mutis and the Royal Botanical Expedition (Second Edition)
It is a work that highlights not only the life of the Spanish botanist, mathematician, and priest José Celestino Mutis (1732-1808), but also his work as leader of the Royal Botanical Expedition of New Granada, which took place in the late 17th and early 19th centuries; its purpose was to study the flora of what is now Colombian territory.
It stands out for the profound texts by experts in different fields, for its editorial quality, and for the quality of the illustrations, many of which are original botanical plates. The book delves not only into the scientific aspects of the expedition, the cultural and political impact on the intellectual community of New Granada, but also the importance of preserving these historical documents, currently housed in the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid.
