Science in the Vanished Arcadia
Knowledge of Nature in the Jesuit Missions of Paraguay and Río de la Plata
In 'Science in the Vanished Arcadia', Miguel de Asua provides the first modern comprehensive account of Jesuit science in the missions of Paraguay and the River Plate region during the 17th and 18th centuries. 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.
