Abstract

In this study, we start from the real (and also possible) contacts, whether direct or indirect, of the eminent Spanish botanist in New Granada, José Celestino Mutis, and the Bohemian Tadeo Haenke with other prominent figures of European science. We attempt to trace and describe the intellectual networks of the Enlightenment era that not only connected the centers of science in Europe but also crossed the Atlantic.
