| Sumario: | Early modernity witnessed the emergence of a complex network of ideas and knowledge about the New World. Travelers, chroniclers and missionaries developed a travel literature about American natural and cultural alterity. The present writing seeks to contribute to the knowledge of this process through the analysis of two treaties: Problemas y secretos maravillosos de las indias of Juan de Cárdenas, published in 1591 and Cuestión moral: si el chocolate quebranta el ayuno eclesiástico of the chronicler of the Indies Antonio de León Pinelo, published in 1636. The interpretative axis proposed to approach these works is the study of the intellectual devices displayed by the authors, in relation to the drinks and plants of the New World. |
