AVALOS FLORES, Ana Cecilia. Cosmography and Astrology in Manila: an Intellectual Network in the Iberian Colonial World. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.27, pp.27-40. ISSN 0122-5197.
The following article will aim at reconstructing an intellectual network of people interested in both astrology and cosmography in seventeenth-century New Spain. This study will trace a particular means of transmission and dissemination of knowledge, namely the exchange of books on astrology, in order to identify a network of astrologers and cosmographers who shared a similar educational background and who had similar motivations to get interested in the so-called occult sciences. By doing so, this research will reflect on the problem of disciplinary boundaries during the early modern-period, and on the question of transmission of knowledge in the Iberian World.
