MUTIS and the Royal Botanical Expedition

$900,000.00

DESCRIPCIÓN

The role of José Celestino Mutis in the formation of Colombian nationality is decisive. The wise Spaniard paved the way for the launch of that great scientific enterprise, known as the Botanical Expedition, from which an entire cultural and civilizing project was derived. This book is a summary of the knowledge that José Celestino Mutis disseminated throughout his life and that served as the basis for a complete description of the American flora. Here reproductions of the original engravings are faithfully presented in display not only of science but of beauty. The texts that complement this luxurious edition reaffirm the imponderable function that the Botanical Expedition played in the development of the country.
