[Simón de Tovar (1528-1596): family networks, American nature and trade in curiosities in 16th century Seville].
The central character of this work is Simón de Tovar, a citizen of late 16th century Seville, who was an outstanding collector of American plants. Beyond the traditional historiography of early modern Spanish botany, Tovar's activities have been set in the context of an expanding trade in marvels and curiosities.
