Aromatum, et simplicium aliquot medicamentorum apud Indos nascentium historia
Garcia de Orta (Author), Carolus Clusius (Translator, Editor), Cristóbal Acosta, Nicolás Monardes
Da Orta's Colóquios, originally written in Portuguese, was first printed in Goa in 1563. The work became known in Europe through the Latin translation and abridgement made by Carolus Clusius, first published by the Plantin press in Antwerp in 1567 (see Anderson, page 206). The work includes information of the materia medica (with Indian, Greek, and Arabic synonomy), local food plants, diseases, and sociology of India, and provided Western scholars with their introduction to tropical medicine. In addition to Da Orta's work, Clusius's edition also includes Latin translations of Cristóbal Acosta's Tractado de las drogas y medicinas de las Indias Orientales, and Nicolás Monardes's Historia Medicinal, which introduced medicinal plants from the Americas to a European audience
